Human autochthonous myiasis is uncommonly reported in Europe. This report describes a case of myiasis of a wound caused by Sarcophaga spp. Suffering from cutaneous lymphoma, the patient showed, at the level of his scalp lesions, the presence of larvae that were removed during curettage surgery; they were subsequently identified as belonging to the genus Sarcophaga. Preservation of these larvae in 10% formalin did not allow identification at the species level using molecular methods.

Abstract
Human autochthonous myiasis is uncommonly reported in Europe. This report describes a case of myiasis of a wound caused by Sarcophaga spp. Suffering from cutaneous lymphoma, the patient showed, at the level of his scalp lesions, the presence of larvae that were removed during curettage surgery; they were subsequently identified as belonging to the genus Sarcophaga. Preservation of these larvae in 10% formalin did not allow identification at the species level using molecular methods.File in questo prodotto:
