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