“…Typisch sind, wie auch bei unserer Patientin vorliegend, weiß-gelbliche, lineäre und fokal ovoide Strukturen, die erweiterten Lymphgefäßen entsprechen, in denen sich die Larve fortbewegt [ 5 ]. Zahlreiche rote und violette Punkte, die mit punktförmigen Gefäßen korrelieren, sind aufgrund der begleitenden Inflammation erkennbar [ 3 , 4 ]. In unserem Fall waren zudem braune Krusten zu sehen, die bei einer begleitenden spongiotischen Dermatitis auftreten können [ 4 ].…”

Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM), results from hookworm larvae infestation, mainly A. braziliense or A. caninum. It is common in Sub-Saharan Africa, often acquired through soil contact, especially in sandy beaches, manifesting as serpiginous, erythematous, and intensely pruritic tracts within the epidermis and presenting with diverse clinical appearances. Diagnosis is mostly clinical, however, dermoscopy can enhance diagnostic accuracy and distinction from mimics. The current body of literature is deficient in its representation of dermoscopic data for CLM in blacks. This study explores dermoscopy in 9 dark-skinned patients with 16 CLM lesions. Distinctive serpiginous structureless areas displaying a range of colors, peripheral scales surrounding brown areas and brown dots were predominant features, whereas vascular characteristics were less evident. This article highlights the presence of distinct reaction patterns, including brown dots, scales, and accentuated, often disrupted brown reticular lines in addition to the characteristic winding tracts in the darker skin.

Cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a zoonotic disease endemic in tropical regions. CLM diagnosis mainly relies on the morphology of the skin lesions, however dermoscopy can improve diagnostic accuracy. In this paper, we report two cases of CLM to highlight the importance of dermoscopic follow-up in early identification of treatment failure, as well as the effectiveness of topical ivermectin as a combined medication.
