 Breast implant infection is a major potential complication after breast reconstruction, and the most common causative pathogens are Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis. We report a rare non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection in a post-breast reconstruction implant. A 58-year-old woman underwent bilateral breast reconstruction with silicone gel breast implants, and on postoperative day 14 we observed that the right breast implant had become infected. Mycobacterium abscessus was detected by a bacterial culture test from punctured periprosthetic fluid. The right breast implant was removed 1 month after the reconstruction, and we initiated antimicrobial therapy with clarithromycin (CAM), imipenem/cilastatin (IMP/CS), and amikacin (AMK), which lasted for 6 months. M. abscessus infection is rare, and its diagnosis is often delayed. In patients exhibiting an infection and a negative bacterial culture or ineffective empirical treatment, the acid-fast stain test should be considered. For the treatment of an M. abscessus implant infection, the removal of the implant and long-term multi-drug combination therapy based on susceptibility testing are essential.
