摘要
Myiasis is the invasion of tissues and organs of human beings or other vertebrates by fly larvae. This phenomenon is well documented in the skin, especially among animals and people in tropical and subtropical areas. When tissues of the oral cavity are invaded by the parasitic larvae of flies, this condition is called oral myiasis. Oral myiasis is a rare condition that can be caused by several species of dipteran fly larvae and may be secondary to serious medical conditions. We hereby report a rare case of oral myiasis involving the palate in a 58-year-old diabetic patient and discuss the management of the same. © 2009, Springer.
