Abstract
A patient is reported who, after leaving Venezuela, developed some boils on the left upper limb inhabited by Dermatobis hominis larvae. The curious life-cycle of this tropical fly is described with some considerations about the diagnostic problem. A simple unreported way of larvae extraction is suggested.
