ABSTRACT
We report a case of cutaneous Mycobacterium abscessus infection in a 30-year-old woman who had two, tender, erythematous subcutaneous nodules on the upper extremitiy. A skin biopsy specimen revealed a neutrophilic and histiocytic lobular, with septal panniculitis as well as some acid-fast bacilli in the dermis. The culture from a tissue specimen on Ogawa media for 7 days, yielded yellow-colored colonies. The microorganism was identified as M. abscessus by a polymerase chain reaction. The patient was treated with incision and drainage, followed by administration of proper antibiotics. After 2 months the skin lesions were resolved without recurrence.
