Abstract
Circumcision is a non complex surgical procedure, but is not a harmless option. Risk of complications may fluctuate between 0,2% and 5%, being myiasis a low often situation, for its treatment mainly the larvae are extracted, antiparasitics and antibiotics are administered to prevent secondary infection. The objective of the article is to report the case of a male adult, who presented genital myiasis after a circumcision and biopsy. In most of cases myiasis is accidental in humans and its true incidence is very hard to establish due to underreporting. Poor hygiene, low socio-economic level and overcrowding, are risk factors to obtain it, besides an excessive exposure to flies. A right wounds treatment and a strict monitoring of patient in surgical management is essential. MÉD.UIS.2019;32(2):41-6
