abstract={Mycobacteria Wolinskyi is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium (RGM) that is associated with skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) following cosmetic surgeries. The infections vary in severity and treatment requires a prolonged course of antibiotics as well as surgical intervention. Around 20 cases have been reported worldwide, only a handful in the United States. In this case report, we present a case of a 30-year-old woman with severe necrotizing infection due to M. Wolinskyi following abdominoplasty abroad.},
