The patient had erosion and inflammation of the left eyelid since March 2002. She had not regeived doctor's consultation until this episode happened. The eyelid lesion was diagnosed histopathologically as sebaceous gland carcinoma. Physical examination revealed that 3rd instar larvae of the Family Calliphoridae were present in the orbital sQcket. The attending physician (K.SJ confirmed that the left orbit was absent. The rnaggots were reared to adults and identified as Lucilia sericata. |
