Fish Tank Granuloma

Three patients with fish tank granuloma of the hand and forearm are reported. Each patient was treated with antimicrobial regimes which have rarely or never been previously used in this condition. Two patients responded well to treatment, one who received ciprofloxacin plus clarithromycin and another who was given clarithromycin plus ethambutol. The third patient received six different antimicrobial regimes before responding to a combination of rifabutin and ciprofloxacin. Our experience suggests that there now exist a number of effective alternatives to antimicrobials which have been traditionally used in the treatment of cutaneous Mycobacterium marinum infection.

We report a case of cutaneous Mycobacterium marinum infection with the unusual reported features of pruritus and paresthesia. In addition, we report a lack of in-vivo response to antibiotics based on in-vitro susceptibility testing.

Mdct Imaging

Mycobacterium marinum is an atypical mycobacterium that usually causes a solitary nodule on the hand (“fish tank granuloma”) or less commonly, secondary erythematous channels and nodules spread along lymphatic drainage of the extremity, mimicking sporothricoid skin lesions of nodular lymphangitis. This report presents a case of this rare entity, a nodular lymphangitis caused by Mycobacterium marinum. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging was very useful in determining the morphology (cellulitis with a few small subcutaneous nodules and channels) and the extension of the lesion.
