Cutaneous infection with rapidly growing mycobacteria is uncommon and its diagnosis can be missed unless there is strong clinical suspicion coupled with microbiological confirmation. We report a case of localized recurrent soft tissue swelling of the foot by Mycobacterium fortuitum in a healthy adult male. The case is being reported for its uncommon clinical presentation and the associated etiological agent. The patient recovered completely following therapy with amikacin and clarithromycin.
快速生长分枝杆菌引起的皮肤感染并不常见，除非有强烈的临床怀疑并结合微生物学确诊，否则可能会漏诊。我们报告一例健康成年男性足部由偶然分枝杆菌引起的局限性复发性软组织肿胀病例。报告该病例是因其不寻常的临床表现及相关病原体。患者在接受阿米卡星和克拉霉素治疗后完全康复。
