ABSTRACT
We report a case of cutaneous Mycobacterium (M.) abscessus infection in a 57-year-old healthy woman who presented with an erythematous plaque on her cheek. No previous trauma history was reported. A skin biopsy specimen revealed an abscess and granuloma as well as some acid-fast bacilli in the dermis. The microorganism was identified as M. abscessus by culture and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The patient was treated with clarithromycin and ciprofloxacin. After 6 months, the skin lesion had been resolved.
