Abstract
Surgical site infections are a common complication in the management of patients with solid cancer tumors in cytotoxic chemotherapy. The antibiotic combination chosen depends on the neoadjuvant therapy used and the anatomical site and extent of the surgery. In this brief report, we describe a surgical site infection caused by an unusual microorganism and a succinct review of the pathogen's behavior.Entities:
