The paper describes the case of an 8-year-old girl with a one-year history of erythematous lesion and pain in her left foot. At first she was evaluated by an orthopaedic who recommended a throat swab that was positive for beta-haemolytic streptococcus and she underwent antibiotic therapy without benefit. Then, she was evaluated by a dermatologist who diagnosed a granuloma annulare. She presented with high antistreptolysin title and the physical examination showed linear and serpiginous papular lesion of her left foot. So, a cutaneous larva migrans was suspected that was then confirmed by the infectious disease specialist. The lesion disappeared after albendazole therapy.
