[Demodex in a needle puncture of the skin of the cheekbone area. Report of a case and short description of the parasite].

Abstract

A fine-needle aspiration performed in the cheekbone area of a 59-years old man detected Demodex mites. It is a fortuitous discovery in this patient with rosacea and maxillary sinusitis, which permitted to identify and describe this parasite rarely found in cytological smears.
