Title: | Primary pulmonary botryomycosis with multiple adjacent organ involvement mimicking mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma | Authors: | Leong Y.-L. Liaw Y.-S. YIH-LEONG CHANG Lee Y.-C. |
Keywords: | Diagnosis, differential; Gram-positive bacterial infection; Liver; Lymphoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue | Issue Date: | 2005 | Journal Volume: | 104 | Journal Issue: | 10 | Start page/Pages: | 744-747 | Source: | Journal of the Formosan Medical Association | Abstract: | Botryomycosis is an unusual chronic suppurative disease characterized by the histological finding of sulphur granules containing the causative bacteria in an abscess. We describe a previously healthy 14-year-old girl who presented with chronic productive cough. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a right lower mass with involvement of the parietal pleura, chest wall, diaphragm, liver and costovertebral junction. Thoracostomy biopsy was performed due to suspicion of low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. However, histological analysis revealed a pulmonary botryomycosis. The right lower lung mass completely resolved after 3 months of antibiotics treatment. This case emphasizes that primary pulmonary botryomycosis with extensive contiguous involvement may not be distinguishable from lung cancer, lymphoma or fungal infection on chest CT. |
