ABSTRACT
La botriomicosis es una rara infección bacteriana granulomatosa crónica y supurativa de la piel y las vísceras. Se clasifica en 2 grupos: la forma cutánea, que puede producir afectación ósea y muscular por contigüidad, como parece probable en este caso, y la forma visceral.Se presenta un caso de botriomicosis muscular en el recto anterior del abdomen en un paciente con antecedente de intervención quirúrgica sobre la pared abdominal. Se interpretó como una tumoración neoplásica de partes blandas y el paciente fue sometido a resección quirúrgica con resultado de botriomicosis muscular. Se describen la presentación clínica y las características radiológicas (AU)
Botryomycosis is a rare chronic suppurative granulomatous bacterial infection of the skin and viscera. It is classified into 2 groups: the visceral type and the cutaneous type, which can lead to involvement of contiguous muscle and bone, as appears probable in this case.We present a rare case of muscular botryomycosis in the rectus abdominis muscle in a patient with a history of abdominal wall surgery. Botryomycosis was initially mistaken for a soft-tissue tumor; after surgical resection it was diagnosed as muscular botryomycosis. We describe the clinical presentation and the imaging characteristics of this rare entity (AU)
