Abstract
Introduction: Myiasis is a parasitic infestation of tissues of living vertebrae by the larvae of dipterous flies. The condition usually occurs on exposed part of the body. The location of myiasis is very rarely seen on the vulvar area.
Case Report: We present a case of vulvar myiasis affecting a 72-year-old female. The patient was investigated for any predisposing factor. The larvae were removed after application of turpentine oil.
Conclusion: Genital myiasis is very uncommon. Awareness of the disease and careful examination of the lesion is important for making correct diagnosis.

Keywords: Infestation, Larvae, Myiasis, Vulvar
