Abstract
Lung abscesses result from invasive infections causing collection of necrotic debris in the lung parenchyma. Antibiotics are considered first line therapy. Rarely, in the event of failure of therapy, surgical resection or drainage is advised. Here we report the case of an adult immunocompetent patient with two large lung abscesses not responding to antibiotic therapy and managed with percutaneous drainage with clinical recovery, avoiding surgical resection.
