“…Empyema necessitans is a relatively rare clinical entity in which the empyema extends through the parietal pleura into the adjacent soft tissue and musculature of the chest wall. It usually occurs due to inadequate treatment of a primary lung infection [ 1 , 2 ]. Several causative pathogens have been reported in the literature and include Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus (including MRSA), Pseudomonas, Actinomyces, and others [ 1 - 4 ].…”

“…Hasta un 40% de los pacientes con neumonía pueden cursar con derrame pleural asociado (5) y el empiema necessitatis constituye una complicación poco frecuente en la cual hay una extensión o drenaje del contenido purulento pleural hacia los tejidos blandos extratorácicos (1). Es más frecuente en adultos (3, 9) y se describe como localización principal la pared torácica anterior entre el segundo y sexto espacio intercostal, siendo esta la zona de menor resistencia; seguido por la pared abdominal, el espacio paravertebral y otras localizaciones menos frecuentes (esófago, bronquios, mediastino, diafragma, pericardio, retroperitoneo y en niños incluso a nivel cervical) (5,7,9). Nosotros reportamos el caso de un paciente con localización poco usual en la región lumbar baja.…”
