Cutaneous botryomycosis
Keywords:
botryomycosis, erlotinib, lung adenocarcinoma.Abstract
Cutaneous botryomycosis is a chronic focal infection characterized by a granulomatous inflammatory response to bacterial pathogens such as taphylococcus aureus in patients with an immunodeficiency condition. We describe the case of a 66 years old woman, with a lung adenocarcinoma in treatment with erlotinib with purulent and painful nodules in legs, arms and thorax. Histopathology revealed clusters of gram-positive cocci bacteria in the deep dermis, surrounded by a mixed dense inflammatory infiltrate. A bacterial culture grew S. aureus. There was a favorable evolution with ciprofloxacin treatment for 6 weeks.
