is a gram-positive anaerobic bacterium that is ubiquitous in nature. It typically presents as respiratory, cervicofacial, or abdominopelvic abscesses. We present a 66-year-old man with a progressive enlarging abdominal wall nodule concerning for malignancy. The patient had a negative workup, including an ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration and colonoscopy, with biopsy for a possible extension to the colonic wall. Diagnosis of an abscess was obtained through surgical resection with right hemicolectomy. He was successfully treated with a prolonged course of intravenous antibiotics. This is a rare case of an isolated abdominal wall abscess mimicking a gastrointestinal malignancy.
是一种革兰氏阳性厌氧菌,在自然界中普遍存在。它通常表现为呼吸道、颈面部或腹盆腔脓肿。我们报告一名66岁男性,其腹壁结节进行性增大,怀疑为恶性肿瘤。患者的各项检查结果均为阴性,包括超声引导下细针穿刺抽吸和结肠镜检查,并对可能累及结肠壁的部位进行了活检。通过右半结肠切除术的手术切除确诊为脓肿。他通过长期静脉使用抗生素成功治愈。这是一例罕见的孤立性腹壁脓肿误诊为胃肠道恶性肿瘤的病例。
