      abstract = {Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a parasitic disease caused by the percutaneous migration into human skin of the larvae of certain nematodes, predominantly Ancylostoma braziliense and Ancylostoma caninum. It is widespread in tropical and subtropical areas and is associated with exposure to contaminated sand or soil, mainly from infected animals (such as dogs and cats). This case report describes a 1-year-old male with classic skin lesions of CLM and the clinical details, diagnostic considerations as well as management.},
