From the abstract

To describe dynamic ultrasonographic findings in travel-associated subcutaneous myiasis.

Reported results

Imaging demonstrated an echogenic subcutaneous structure with posterior acoustic shadowing, surrounding hyperemia, and real-time rhythmic internal movement, supporting larval infestation.

Authors' conclusions

Recognition of internal larval motion on ultrasonography may help distinguish myiasis from abscess, foreign body or vascularized soft-tissue masses and guide definitive mechanical extraction.
