Pott's puffy tumor is a subperiosteal abscess of the frontal bone associated with underlying frontal osteomyelitis. The introduction of antibiotic medications has diminished the incidence of complications of frontal sinusitis. As a result, Pott's puffy tumor has become a rarity. In this communication a case of Pott's puffy tumor secondary to antecedent frontal sinusitis in an otherwise healthy adult man is described.
波特氏肿是一种与潜在额骨骨髓炎相关的额骨骨膜下脓肿。抗生素药物的引入降低了额窦炎并发症的发生率。因此，波特氏肿已变得罕见。在本报告中，描述了一例在其他方面健康的成年男性中，继发于先前额窦炎的波特氏肿病例。
