非結核分枝桿菌所造成的皮膚及軟組織感染，無論在免疫健全或免疫不全者均已越來越常見。此類疾病通常由臨床表現及組織病理學檢查即可確立診斷。但其影像學之發現至今仍罕被提及。在我們報告其超音波表現，以提供為輔助診斷之用。

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are being increasingly recognized as causative pathogens of skin and soft tissue infections in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Since the diagnosis of skin and soft tissue NTM infections are usually readily made based on clinical presentations and histopathologic study, the ultrasound appearances of solitary subcutaneous NTM infection have never been presented in the past. Here we report such a case.
