Tekrarlayan Aksillar Apse ile Gelen Hastada Malign Epitelyal Tümör

Abstract

Skin infections are among the common diseases encountered in general surgery, dermatology and pediatrics outpatient clinics. Skin abscess occurs as a result of pus accumulation in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue; it is composed of swollen, red, tender, fluctuating mass and often accompanied by cellulite around them. The treatment is primarily antibiotic therapy according to the abscesses culture result after drainage with local anesthesia. Some of diseases such as diabetes, immunosuppressive conditions and cancer should be considered in adults, especially in recurrent abscesses. Skin metastasis in primary malignancies is very rare. Lung cancer is the most common one with skin metastasis. In this case report, we wanted to emphasize that the skin metastasis of primary malignancy should be kept in mind in cases with recurrent abscess which is resistant to treatment.
