“…Mycobacterium marinum is a rare but well-known cause of skin infections [4]. This infection is usually associated with minimal trauma during fish or crustacean manipulation or working with aquariums [21]. Our NTM patient was in an immunocompetent state, had a history of finger injury caused by shrimp handling before symptoms appeared and worked in an environment exposed to seawater.…”

Erythema nodosum (EN) is an immunologic reaction to various stimuli, and characterized by inflammation of subcutaneous fat cells, resulting in tender red nodules and lumps. Mycobacterial infection is sometimes associated with its development. According to previous reports, the most common form of EN involves thickening of the superficial fascia of the cutaneous or subcutaneous fat layer. However, the two cases described here had a subcutaneous nodule in magnetic resonance images. Although in many cases, EN is idiopathic, treatment for a causative disease is needed when EN manifests in the presence of a specific disease. Therefore, if subcutaneous nodule or mass is diagnosed as EN histopathologically, underlying disease should be investigated to ensure appropriate treatment. Here, we report two cases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or a nontuberculous Mycobacterial infection pathologically presented as EN and describe the MRI findings of subcutaneous Mycobacterial infection.

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma arising in the deltoid muscle without the Kasabach–Merritt phenomenon

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare tumor that occurs nearly exclusively during infancy and childhood. It has features common to both capillary hemangioma and Kaposi sarcoma and for that reason many terms have been used for these tumors including "Kaposi-like infantile hemangioendothelioma" and "hemangioma with Kaposi sarcoma-like features." KHE typically presents as an ill-defined, red to purple, indurated plaque and is often complicated by the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP), a condition of severe thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy. Knowledge of the radiological findings of this uncommon tumor might be helpful for diagnosis. We present the MRI features of a case of KHE with neither typical skin lesions nor the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon.

Mycobacterium marinum: MR imaging and clinical course of a rare soft tissue infection

Abstract: Mycobacterium marinum is a rare cause of soft tissue infections. The imposing MR appearance of the soft tissue involvement is in contrast to the chronic painless clinical manifestation.
