Abstract

Botryomycosis is an uncommon chronic suppurative bacterial infection of the skin and visceral organs seen primarily in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report a case of splenic botryomycosis caused by Streptococcus mitis in a 53-year-old immunocompetent woman with a history of distal gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer.
