Abstract
We present a case of a 57-year-old woman with no significant medical history who presented with a painful axillary mass associated with fever. Initial treatment with antibiotics failed to yield improvement, leading to hospital admission. Subsequent investigation revealed an axillary abscess caused by Salmonella spp., a rare etiology for such presentation. The patient responded favorably to antibiotic therapy with ceftriaxone. This case underscores the importance of considering uncommon pathogens in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue abscesses, especially in cases refractory to standard treatment.
