Soft tissue lesions are rare manifestations of brucellosis. Brucella breast abscess in animal is not uncommon; involvement of the breast in human brucella is extremely rare. Breast abscess involvement was reported to 0.7% of the patient with brucellosis. We report the microbiological findings of breast abscess due to brucella. A 38-year-old woman living in the rural area of Kerman, Iran, presented with an abscess in the right breast. The sampling of the abscess aspiration and preparation of smears showed inflammatory fluid. Culture and PCR performed from the sample identified the presence of Brucella melitensis. The lesion had diminished in size after 8 weeks of treatment with combined doxycycline and rifampin. The possibility of breast abscess being caused by Brucella should be considered in countries, especially in endemic regions. Besides, isolated Brucella spp from microbiological cultures is important for a definitive diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":34254,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Clinical Practice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48265781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presented case is a 51-year-old man with medical record of recurrent pneumonias resulted in right lobectomy who admitted to the medical institution with a significant empyema leading to chest tube insertion. It should be noted that the presence of food particles in the chest bottle in addition to the history of previous surgery raised suspicion of a post-surgical E-P fistula formation.

She was diagnosed with the distal vaginal agenesis, functional unicornoate uterus and the ectopic right kidney. Rectoabdominal examination revealed segmental vaginal agenesis and a likely atretic cervix with a huge abdominopelvic mass of about 10 cm in size. On exploratory laparotomy, the bladder was completely dilated and the right kidney was ectopic and both kidneys had moderate hydronephrosis. On the left, a unicorn uterus containing blood and clot, and on the right, a non-functional rudimentary horn with a normal fallopian tube was seen. A neovagina was created by dissection of the space between the urethra hyatus and rectum in laparatomy. It is important to note that the patient may initially present with urinary symptoms and renal signs.
