Abstract

Önceden var olan bir sebase kist üzerinde gelişen meme apsesi son derece nadirdir. Actinomyces türleri, meme apselerinde primer patojen olarak nadiren izole edilir. İnsan kommensal florasının bir parçası olan bu bakteriler, genellikle granülomatöz ve yavaş ilerleyen bir klinik seyirle ortaya çıkan fırsatçı kronik enfeksiyonlara neden olabilir. Gleimia europaea (eski adıyla Actinomyces europaeus), aktinomikozun nadir görülen etkenlerinden biri olup klinik enfeksiyonlarda oldukça seyrek bildirilmiştir. Bu olgu sunumunda, önceden var olan bir sebase kist zemininde gelişen G. europaea kaynaklı nadir bir meme apsesi vakası irdelenmektedir.

Abstract

Breast abscesses developing on pre-existing sebaceous cysts are exceptionally rare. Actinomyces species are infrequently isolated as primary pathogens in breast abscesses. As part of the human commensal flora, these bacteria can cause opportunistic chronic infections, often presenting with a granulomatous and slowly progressive clinical course. Gleimia europaea (formerly Actinomyces europaeus), a rare causative agent of actinomycosis, has been infrequently reported in clinical infections. In this case report, we discuss an unusual instance of a breast abscess caused by G. europaea, arising in the background of a pre-existing sebaceous cyst.
