Facial swelling with atypical mycobacterial infection in immuno-competent patient.

Vipan Gupta, Sunita Ojha.   

Abstract

A middle aged immune-competent woman presented with a facial swelling, which was excised. The histopathology showed it to be a non-caseating granuloma. PCR confirmed that the swelling was caused by mycobacterium other than tuberculosis (MOTT) infection. No relapse was seen on follow up even without chemotherapy.
