- Abstract
<em>Mycobacterium fortuitum</em> is a rapidly growing atypical mycobacterium frequently reported as a postsurgical wound complication from a major surgical procedure. We present a unique case of <em>M. fortuitum</em> infection occurring in a 4-year-old boy after a minor punch biopsy surgical procedure. As far as we know there has been no published case of <em>M. fortuitum</em> occurring after a punch biopsy procedure.
