Abstrakt: ABSTRACTA 65-year-old male with known hypertension and hypercholesterolemia sought medical attention because of a 3-month history of skin swelling on his upper back. Histopathology and molecular techniques were employed and identified an organism in the Onchocercagenus. This represents a very uncommon example of cutaneous infection by a zoonotic Onchocercaspecies.
