Sumario:BACKGROUND: Facial injection has become popular in aesthetic dermatology. Although injections of these tissue fillers are considered a low-risk procedure, they are not without potentially significant drawbacks. CASE PRESENTATION: We would like to report a case about cutaneous Mycobacterium abscessus infection after facial injection of hyaluronic acid in China, which obtained satisfactory clinical efficacy by drainage and surgical excision. CONCLUSION: Biological techniques are useful in the diagnosis of cutaneous M. abscessus infection. Surgical excision of skin lesion is effective for cutaneous M. abscessus infection.
