“…Botryomycosis is a chronic localized bacterial infection that is usually polymicrobial and is sometimes associated with a foreign body, penetrating injury, or local trauma (as in our case) [1,3]. S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other organisms are frequently recovered by aerobic and anaerobic culture; S. aureus and P. aeruginosa are the pathogens that are isolated most often [3,4].…”

“…Patients usually present with chronic, nonhealing skin lesions with granules (figure 1), possible sinus tracts, nodules, fistulae, ulcers, or abscesses. Infection can spread locally to involve muscle, bone, and organs, such as the heart, lung, liver, brain, kidney, prostate gland, eye, mouth, and pericardium [1,3,5,6]. Botryomycosis has been reported sporadically worldwide, with a male-to-female ratio of 3:2 [6], and affects patients of all ages [7].…”

Two cases of pyogenic bacterial infection, which initially resembled lymphocutaneous sporotrichosis, are reported. In case 1, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus group A were cultured from the lesion and in case 2, S. aureus alone. Histologically, botryomycotic grains were identified in case 2; this patient had diffuse normolipidemic plane xanthoma. With oral administration of cefaclor, the cutaneous lesions dramatically improved in both cases.

“…Botryomycosis is clinically divided into visceral and cutaneous forms. Cutaneous disease, which is proba¬ bly the most frequent manifestation, involves the skin but may extend into the underlying muscle and bone.5 6 The most frequently affected areas are exposed sur¬ faces, such as the hands, feet, and head. 6 Intertriginous and gluteal areas are also frequently involved.…”

A 47-year-old man presented to the outpatient dermatology clinic with a 2-year history of a slowly enlarging lesion on the dorsum of his right foot. The patient stated that this plaque lesion occasionally drained small amounts of pustular material. The lesion was generally nontender and did not interfere with his activities of daily living. He denied any specific trauma to the foot or any known foreign body in the foot. He was otherwise in excellent health and was receiving no long-term medications. A previous outside biopsy done several months previously had shown only acute and chronic inflammation with some vascular proliferation. Initially, this cutaneous lesion was felt to represent a deep fungal infection, and therapeutic trials with ketoconazole and potassium iodide were tried but were unsuccessful.On initial examination, the patient had a 3.5 X 2. 5\ x=req-\ cm crusted indurated violaceous plaque lesion on the right dorsal aspect of the foot (Fig 1). No ulceration was noted and there was no pustular drainage. The remainder of his cutaneous examination was unremarkable. There was no palpable adenopathy. A roentgenogram of the foot revealed no osseous in¬ volvement. A wedge excision biopsy was performed and the specimen was sent for routine hematoxylineosin as well as complete bacterial, fungal, and mycobacterial cultures. Potassium hydroxide and acid-fast bacilli stains were negative. Results of all subsequent fungal and mycobacterial cultures were reported as negative. Bacterial cultures isolated two strains of staphylococci. Histopathologic sections are shown in Fig 2.What is your diagnosis? Figure 1. Figure 2.
