Résumé
There have been no case reports of thoracic subcutaneous abscess after surgery for Mycobacterium abscessus complex associated empyema. We herein report a case of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus (M. abscessus subsp. abscessus) induced subcutaneous abscesses following surgical treatment for concurrent M. abscessus subsp. abscessus -associated empyema and pneumothorax. A 75-year-old woman had M. abscessus subsp. abscessus -associated empyema and pneumothorax. She underwent surgical treatment of decortication and fistulectomy and suffered from M. abscessus subsp. abscessus -associated subcutaneous abscesses after thoracentesis/drainage. A multidisciplinary approach combined with surgical care, thermal therapy, and multidrug chemotherapy contributed to a successful result. An early multidisciplinary approach is believed to be important in cases of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus -associated empyema and subcutaneous abscess.
