  • Myiasis is the parasitic infestation of the body of a live animal by fly larvae that grow inside the host while feeding on its tissue. Necrotic tissue is a favorable environment for larvae to thrive, which can be seen easily in patients with a diabetic foot. Myiasis in a diabetic foot is rare but is constantly being reported. The common larvae genera causing myiasis are Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, and Muscidae. This paper reports a rare case of sarcophaga myiasis in a diabetic foot. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first case report in Korea regarding human myiasis with the sarcophaga genus.

The current case is a typical example of delayed diagnosis and management. The authors' preferred management of tophi was medical not surgical, even though the hitherto therapeutic issue has been conservative versus surgical. The authors chose conservative treatment in the osteolytic lesion resulting from huge tophi in the patella, and the report the results of 6 years follow-up.

  • Squamous cell carcinoma of the lip is a common malignant tumor originating from oral cancer. However, unlike other areas, the lips hold significant functional and aesthetic importance as a part of the face. As a result, a tailored approach based on the tumor's size, type, and location is essential. The Karapandzic flap is especially suitable for reconstructing lesions located on the lip, particularly when the size of the cancer is large and other surgical treatments like free flaps are not feasible. It allows for extensive resection beyond the size of the lower lip. In this case, considering the patient's overall condition, successful reconstruction of the lower lip was achieved using the Karapandzic flap.
