Resumo: 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.

Relatamos o caso clínico de um adolescente branco de 12 anos de idade, o qual procurou atendimento em consultório dermatológico devido à lesão dolorosa na planta e cujo exame dermatoscópico sem contato com a pele permitiu visualizar o movimento do parasita dentro da pele. O diagnóstico da tungíase é clínico, porém pode ser auxiliado pelo exame dermatoscópico in vivo e ex vivo da lesão.University of São Paulo Medical School Clinics HospitalFederal University of São PauloCampinas State University Medical SchoolUniversity of São Paulo Medical School Dermatology DepartmentUNIFESPSciELOSociedade Brasileira de DermatologiaUniversidade de São Paulo (USP)Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)Criado, Paulo RicardoLandman, Gilles [UNIFESP]Reis, Vitor Manoel Silva DosBelda Junior, Walter2015-06-14T13:45:33Z2015-06-14T13:45:33Z2013-08-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion649-651application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/abd1806-4841.20132071Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia.
