title: Mycobacterium monacense in a patient with a pulmonary tumor.
abstract: We report on a Mycobacterium monacense infection associated with a pulmonary tumor in a Chinese patient. To our knowledge, this is the first case of M. monacense described in a non-European patient with a tuberculosis-like disease. Further evaluation of the human pathogenic potential of M. monacense is needed.
