Abstract
- Myiasis is a disease caused by tissue invasion of diptera larvae and eggs. Oral myiasis is mostly related to old age, poor oral hygiene, suppurative lesions, anatomical disorders and cancer cases. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an important risk factor for myiasis. This report presents the case of an 82-year-old woman who presented with gingival myiasis developing on the background of OSSC. The patient was diagnosed with OSSC in the hospital. Myiasis larvae were identified and sent to the National Parasitology Reference Laboratory for identification. Thus, development of myiasis on OSCC background was shown in Turkey for the first time. Myiasis larvae have been identified as the 3rd phase of the larvaeMiyaz, diptera larva ve yumurtalarının doku istilasından kaynaklanan bir hastalıktır. Oral miyaz nadir görülen, yaşlılık, zayıf ağız hijyeni, süpüratif lezyonlar ve kanser olguları ilgili bir durumdur. Oral skuamöz hücreli karsinom (OSCC) miyazda önemli bir risk faktörüdür. Bu raporda, 82 yaşında bir kadın hastada OSCC zemininde gelişen miyaz sunulmuştur. Hasta, ağız içinde ovoid bir lezyon ile diş hekimine müracaat etmiş, sonra hastanede OSSC tanısı konmuş ve bu zeminde miyaz larvaları tespit edilmiştir. Larvalar Ulusal Parazitoloji Referans Laboratuvarı’na gönderilmiştir. Laboratuvar çalışmaları ile tespit edilen larvaların üçüncü dönem
