BACKGROUND
Cordylobia anthropophaga (Blanchard) is a nonhematophagous dipteron belonging to the Calliphoridae family. It produces a myiasis called "tumbu fly" or "ver de Cayor" or "mango fly" or "skin maggot fly".
CASE REPORTS
We describe two women, 24 and 23 years of age, affected by cutaneous myiasis caused by the larva of Cordylobia anthropophaga. In both cases the myiasis was contracted in Senegal and was characterized by a single lesion localized to the flank and the thigh respectively. From each of these lesions a single larva was extracted.
DISCUSSION
This myiasis represents a typical example of tropical disease that in the past was unknown to Western dermatologists.
背景
嗜人瘤蝇（Blanchard）是丽蝇科的一种非吸血双翅目昆虫。它会引发一种被称为“肤蝇蛆病”或“卡约尔蝇蛆病”或“芒果蝇蛆病”或“皮肤蝇蛆病”的蝇蛆病。
病例报告
我们描述了两名分别为24岁和23岁的女性，她们感染了嗜人瘤蝇幼虫引起的皮肤蝇蛆病。在这两例病例中，蝇蛆病均在塞内加尔感染，其特征分别为单个病灶，一处位于侧腹，另一处位于大腿。从每个病灶中均取出了一条幼虫。
讨论
这种蝇蛆病是热带疾病的一个典型例子，在过去西方皮肤科医生并不了解。
