RESUMO
Botryomycosis is a rare, chronic and suppurative di- sease that is often mistaken clinically and histologically for a fungal infection, because the histologic feature shows a cluster of bacteria found within an eosinophilic matrix or capsule, giving the appearance of granules mimicking the sulfur granules of actinomycosis. Staphy- lococcus aureus is the most common organism cultured from lesions of botryomycosis, but other bacteria have also been isolated and implicated, including Psudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, Proteus spp., Bacillus spp.. In some case, multiple pathogenic bacteria were found on cul ture. This disease has two patterns of organ involve ment. The more common type is cutaneous type, which involves the skin, subcutaneous soft tissue, muscle and bone. The other is visceral type which involves the lungs, liver, tongue, orbit, bowel, brain, kidney or pros tate. We report a case of brain and pulmonary botry omycosis in a 60 year-old man, who have early lung cancer. Botryomycosis was diagnosed by brain mass removal, PCNA and bronchoscopy, and lung cancer was detected incidentally by bronchoscope. The patient was treated with the Penicillin G after operation of brain mass, and right pneumonectomy was done.

Reticulum cell sarcoma occurs rarely in central nervous system. It occupies 1-2.5% of all brain tumors. The prognosis is known to be very poor: 3 weeks of mean survival time in case of no treatment, 2 months of mean survival time in case of only surgery, 9 months-3 years of mean survival time in case of both surgery and radiation. We have experienced a case of reticulum cell sarcoma in brain and obtained a good result after surgery and radiation. We report our case with a brief review of the articles.
