Abstract

Genital myiasis is a very rare entity associated with poor personal hygiene, restricted mobility, and immunosuppressed status and ulcerating lesions. With the reported incidence of only 0.7%, only a few cases have been published so far in literature but none from Nepal. Despite such rare occurrence, we present here two such cases which we encountered in an interval of three days; one in an unmarried teenager and another in a postmenopausal lady with fungating ulcerative growth of vulval carcinoma. Both were successfully managed.
