A CASE OF PSEUDOPARASITISM BY DIPTEROUS LARVÆ
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
Recently a medical friend, Dr. A.E, Ayler, called my attention to some “worms” which he had found under pecuilar conditions.
A patient, an elderly lady of one of the best families, was suffering from a malignant tumor—a melanotic sarcoma—located in the small of the back. The tumor was about the size of a large walnut. On examination the doctor was surprised to find, close to the stalk and between the tumor and the body, some ten or tweleve “worms” which were feeding upon the diseased tissues.
