description Myiasis is defined as the infestation of living tissue by dipterous larvae and is derived from the Greek word "Myia", which means "fly". Cases of external urogenital myiasis in the literature have been documented in women with genital malignancy, decubitus ulcers, external wounds, genital warts, and sexually transmitted diseases. We present a case of a 27-year-old unmarried, mentally subnormal lady with a history of a painful swelling in the vulva for 10 days. Local examination revealed a swelling in the left labia and an ulcer with undermined edges with live maggots inside it. The patient underwent surgical debridement and removal of maggots. Emphasis should be given to prevention of this condition to prevent re-infestation.
