CASE REPORT: We report the case of a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in whom pulmonary infection due to mycobacterium malmoense was discovered unexpectedly. A diagnostic and therapeutic surgical resection was performed. CONCLUSION: The non-tuberculous mycobacterium was identified by culture of the specimen. Surgery was followed by empirical antibiotic treatment with rifampicin and pyrazinamide for two and a half months. Isoniazid was withdrawn rapidly on account of hepatitis and the treatment was supplemented later with clarithromycin, leading to a total duration of treatment of seven and a half months. This case is unusual because of its medico-surgical management that led to assessment and appropriate treatment of this infection.
