Resumen
The female flea Tunga penetrans is responsible for a cutaneous parasitosis known as Tungiasis. We report the clinical case of a 12 year-old Caucasian boy who sought treatment in a dermatological private office due to a painful lesion in the plantar area and whose dermoscopic examination, without skin contact, allowed the visualization of parasite's movement inside the skin. The diagnosis of tungiasis is clinical, but it can be aided by in vivo and ex vivo dermoscopic examination of the lesion. © 2013 by Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia. 88 4 649 651 Heukelbach, J., Sahebali, S., van Marck, E., Sabóia Moura, R.C., Feldmeier, H., An unusual case of ectopic tungiasis with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (2004) Braz J Infect Dis, 8, pp. 465-468 Yotsu, R.R., Tamaki, T., Ujiie, M., Takeshita, N., Kanagawa, S., Kudo, K., Imported tungiasis in a Japanese student returning from East Africa (2011) J Dermatol, 38, pp. 185-189 Vallarelli, A.F.A., de Souza, E.M., Disseminated tungiasis (2011) An Bras Dermatol, 86, pp. 1027-1028 Dunn, R., Asher, R., Bowling, J., Dermoscopy: Ex vivo visualization of fleas head and bag of eggs confirm the diagnosis of Tungiasis (2012) Australas J Dermatol, 53, pp. 120-122 Bauer, J., Forschner, A., Garbe, C., Röcken, M., Dermoscopy of tungiasis (2004) Arch Dermatol, 140, pp. 761-763 Di Stefani, A., Rudolph, C.M., Hofmann-Wellenhof, R., Müllegger, R.R., An additional der-moscopic feature of tungiasis (2005) Arch Dermatol, 141, pp. 1045-1046 Bakos, R.M., Bakos, L., 'Whitish chains': A remarkable in vivo demo scopes finding of tungiasis (2008) Br J Dermatol, 159, pp. 991-992 Cabrera, R., Daza, F., Dermoscopy in the diagnosis of tungiasis (2009) Br J Dermatol, 160, pp. 1136-1137
