Abstract
A lesser-known clinical non-neoplastic entity was first described in 1775, known as Pott’s puffy tumor (PPT). PPT is characterized by frontal bone osteomyelitis with an associated subperiosteal abscess. The diagnosis is usually confirmed with a computed tomography scan of the paranasal sinuses. Early treatment is the law as there is imminent substantial morbidity if left untreated. Herein, we presented a case of a 27-year-old male with a Pott's puffy tumor due to Klebsiella Pneumoniae that was effectively treated with surgery and antibiotics for a total of 3 weeks. Even rare it is a terrifying complication, making it fundamental importance to make an early diagnosis and a correct surgical combined with medical management.
