Case Discussion
The lesion was described as a partially demarcated abscess, and was consequently surgically resected, during which it was found to contain a collection of pus and debris. Microbiological analysis demonstrated the presence of Finegoldia magna, an anaerobic bacterium that is part of the GI/GU normal flora.
