Abstract
Cutaneous larva migrans is caused by various nematodes. Skin manifestations may include superficial or creeping eruptions, folliculitis, and migratory subcutaneous nodules. We report a 52-year-old man with asymptomatic, multiple eruptive papules and nodules on the face and neck caused by the larvae of an unknown nematode. The patient never had any creeping or migratory eruptions. Our case is very unusual and differs from previously reported cases of cutaneous larva migrans.
