Abstrakt:	Introduction and Importance: Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is a treatment for chronic ulcers that involves using live larvae to debride the wound. Case Presentation: We report a case of serious arterial bleeding in the cervical region in a 52-year-old woman who was hospitalized in Iran for a malignant ulcer of the retro-auricular area. The patient was brought to the hospital by Emergency medical service due to severe hemorrhagic shock. Clinical Discussion: Debridement is a commonly used method for wound management, aimed at reducing the risk of infection and removing ulcer debridement. Several techniques are available for debridement of chronic wounds, including mechanical, surgical, autolytic, and enzymatic methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Conclusion: Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is one of these methods that seem to be relatively safer. In this method, some larvae are used for debriding wounds in patients. It is usually used as a last resort treatment but in this case, it was used as a third line after surgery and chemoradiotherapy.
