Follicular lesions on the knee in a boy

Abstract

Follicular cutaneous larva migrans is an uncommon variant of cutaneous larva migrans. The clinical manifestations are usually serpiginous papules and tracks, located on the buttocks and thighs. It was hypothesized that the immune response plays an important role in the pathogenesis of skin eruptions. We describe a case of follicular cutaneous larva migrans that was underdiagnosed for 1 month.
