Sumario:Myiasis is derived from the Greek word-“Myia”, meaning “fly”. The term was first introduced by Hope in 1840 and refers to the infestation of human beings with dipterous larvae (maggots).

We hereby describe a case of young unmarried female who presented with multiple sinuses over external genitalia along with maggots coming out of it.
