Disseminated cutaneous botryomycosis--an unexpected diagnosis after 20-years' duration.
A 35-year-old man presented with nodular suppurative lesions of the buttocks and the neck evolving over 20 years. A diagnosis of botryomycosis was established. Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumanii and coagulase negative Staphylococcus were isolated from the biopsy specimen. Surgical excision was performed with success on the buttock.
