Dr. M. Ajit Chakravarthy, Dr. Suresh. V. Phatak
Abstract :
Background: Empyema necessitans is an atypical long–term complication of empyema distinguished by the leakage of pus from the pleural space into the proximate chest wall and soft tissues setting up a connection between the pleural infection, and the subcutaneous tissue. We review a case of a 25 year old female presenting with increasing mass on the left side of her back since 1 month. A swelling is noted in the right paraspinal region in the intramuscular plane. Radiological procedures including USG, NECT showed empyema necessitans.
Conclusion: Empyema necessitans is mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Actinomyces israelii.
