Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Medical Entomology

Background:

  • Myiasis is the infestation of live vertebrates by dipterous larvae.
  • It is a rare condition in otolaryngology, more prevalent in individuals with disabilities and in tropical/rural regions.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 65-year-old patient with a history of parotid malignancy.
  • The patient presented with aural myiasis (ear infestation) extending to the mastoid.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a rare presentation of myiasis in an otolaryngology context.
  • Discussion includes clinical presentation, diagnostic examinations, and management strategies for early and late-stage infections.

Implications:

  • This report expands the understanding of myiasis occurrence in non-endemic areas.
  • It underscores the importance of considering myiasis in patients with risk factors presenting with ear symptoms.
