Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infection is a rare cause of a solitary pulmonary nodule. All previously reported cases were caused by Mycobacterium avium complex, and a solitary pulmonary nodule caused by other NTM species has been very rarely reported. We describe the first case of Mycobacterium abscessus infection presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule in a 51-year-old asymptomatic adult patient.
非结核分枝杆菌肺部感染是孤立性肺结节的罕见病因。既往所有报道的病例均由鸟分枝杆菌复合体引起，而由其他非结核分枝杆菌（NTM）菌种导致的孤立性肺结节则鲜有报道。我们描述了首例脓肿分枝杆菌感染表现为孤立性肺结节的病例，患者为一名51岁无症状成年男性。
