ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We report a case of fat deposit pneumonia extending to the parietal pleura with a granulomatous reaction centered on the fat vaculoles. This case was complicated by an atypical and fatal mycobacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium chelonae. The severity of Mycobacterium chelonae infection in fat deposit pneumonia warrants early empirical antibiotic therapy.
