Mycobacterium fortuitum is a rapidly growing atypical mycobacterium frequently reported as a postsurgical wound complication from a major surgical procedure. We present a unique case of M. fortuitum infection occurring in a 4-year-old boy after a minor punch biopsy surgical procedure. As far as we know there has been no published case of M. fortuitum occurring after a punch biopsy procedure.
