ABSTRACT
We describe the case of a 57-year-old man with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus who presented with 30 days of left-sided abdominal pain. He was found to have a left adrenal abscess and underwent adrenalectomy. Intraoperative cultures grew Nocardia beijingensis, which is an uncommonly identified Nocardia species rarely affecting immunocompetent patients. We review the published literature on cases of N beijingensis among immunocompetent patients. This is the first report summarizing the diagnosis and management of N beijingensis isolated from an adrenal abscess.
