Abstract

Cutaneous larva migrans results from infection by zoonotic nematode larvae, usually by animal hookworm larvae, and is a condition that is not uncommon in rural communities. The usual site of this lesion is on the feet, where larval penetration from soil takes place. Unusual sites such as the upper extremity and groin are very rare. We report a case of cutaneous larva migrans on the hand (unusual site) from Kelantan, Malaysia.
