ABSTRACT
Cutaneous larva migrans is a characteristic serpiginous creeping eruption that is caused by the migration of the larval form of neomatodes in the skin. It is caused by hookworm larvae, which are present in the feces of infected dogs and cats. The skin lesions progressively evolve at a rate of 2~3 cm daily. Most cases have a travel history to tropical and subtropical countries, but our patient had no travel history to an endemic area and no contact history with the feces of dogs and cats. We report herein on a case of cutaneous larva migrans on the neck and the patient did not have a travel history to an endemic area and the lesions showed relatively rapid progression.
