ABSTRACT
Abstract: Perinevic dermatosis neglecta is an underestimated skin condition usually affecting children and adolescents, characterized by the appearance of dirt-like brownish pigmentation around a preexisting nevus and often a matter of concern for parents. We describe the clinical and dermoscopic findings in a case of perinaevic dermatosis neglecta and discuss the possible etiology of this phenomenon.

We describe a 56-year-old Brazilian woman presenting three nodular lesions on the scalp. Dermoscopy of all lesions showed a creamy-white body with central bird's feet-like structures surrounded by a thorn crown, corresponding to the posterior segment of the Dermatobia hominis larvae. These novel dermoscopic features allowed us to easily diagnose furuncular myiasis.
Descrevemos o caso de uma paciente brasileira de 56 anos de idade do sexo feminino que apresentou três lesões nodulares no couro cabeludo. A dermatoscopia das lesões mostrou um corpo branco-amarelado com uma estrutura central similar a pés de pássaro, circundado por uma coroa de espinhos, correspondendo ao segmento posterior das larvas de Dermatobia hominis. Estas novas características dermatoscópicas nos permitiram diagnosticar facilmente miíase furuncular.
