Pott's puffy tumor is a subperiosteal abscess of the frontal bone with osteomyelitis which has become rare because of the widespread use of antibiotics. Here, we report a case of Pott's puffy tumor in a 46-year-old man who visited the department of dermatology with painful swelling of the forehead. Despite open drainage and oral antibiotic therapy, the symptoms recurred twice in the following month. Computed tomography revealed a fistula of frontal bone. The eventual diagnosis was Pott's puffy tumor. The patient underwent endoscopic surgery at the department of otorhinolaryngology and achieved a complete recovery.
波特氏肿（Pott's puffy tumor）是一种伴有骨髓炎的额骨骨膜下脓肿，由于抗生素的广泛使用，这种疾病已变得罕见。在此，我们报告一例46岁男性的波特氏肿病例，该患者因前额疼痛肿胀就诊于皮肤科。尽管进行了切开引流和口服抗生素治疗，但症状在接下来的一个月内复发了两次。计算机断层扫描显示额骨有瘘管。最终诊断为波特氏肿。该患者在耳鼻喉科接受了内镜手术，并完全康复。
