A case of Mycobacterium fortuitum presenting as an asymptomatic enlarging pulmonary nodule is described. This case is unusual because the patient was female, did not have underlying pulmonary disease, was not immunocompromised, had no evidence of dissemination, and had no history of aspiration or diabetes mellitus. The patient underwent thoractomy for resection of the pulmonary nodule, which led to the diagnosis. She recovered fully and is doing well without chemotherapy.
描述了一例以无症状性肺结节增大为表现的偶然分枝杆菌病例。该病例不同寻常，因为患者为女性，无潜在肺部疾病，无免疫功能低下，无播散证据，且无误吸或糖尿病病史。患者接受了开胸手术切除肺结节，从而得以确诊。她已完全康复，未进行化疗，情况良好。
