Abstract
Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a dermatosis characterized by the presence of parasites which migrate into the skin, forming linear or serpiginous lesions. We report a child with cutaneous larva migrans of interest because of the involvement of an unusual site and the patient's age. We confirm the efficacy of therapy consisting of administration of albendazole by mouth.
