The aim of this paper is to present the evolution of this case as a very rare disease in Cuba. A case is presented of a female patient, white skin, 70 years old having a history of chronic hypertension. Nine months earlier, she had been diagnosed with vulvar neoformative process, for which she underwent surgery -39 days before this consultation in another hospital. She went to the emergency room due to an increased volume in the surgical area, severe itching, and fetid secretions. She was admitted in hospital for study and treatment. She was diagnosed vulvovaginal miasis. She had a satisfactory evolution thanks to local cures and treatment with antibiotics.
