    Abstract:
    Human myiasis are infestations produced by fly larvae which invade human tissues or cavities. We report a case of semi-specific myiasis which consisted in infestation of the vulvar region of an eighty-six-year old, diabetic patient who was admitted in a clinical center for elderly. The development from larva to adult fly was carried out in the laboratory and it was identified as Sarcophaga. The infestation was resolved extracting the larvae and washing the affected area with an antiseptic solution.
