Penile carcinoma and myiasis: A rare association. Case report and literature review

摘要

Penile carcinoma is rare neoplasm in western countries. In development countries can constitute more than 10–20% malignant disease in men. It is usually seen in men with poor standards of penile hygiene. The bot fly (Dermatobia hominis) is endemic in certainly regions such as Central and South America. Human infestation at nonendemic areas is difficult to diagnose and the penile localization is rare and makes the diagnosis more difficult. The authors describe a rare case of simultaneous association between penile carcinoma and myiasis treated both surgically.
