A case is reported of a woman diagnosed with an atypical mycobacteriosis of the skin. The diagnosis was established based on the patient‘s history,

clinical presentation, presence of Mycobacterium marinum in culture, and a histological finding of granulomatous inflammation.

The patient was referred to the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the University Hospital Olomouc where systemic therapy with

anti-tuberculosis drugs was initiated. Subsequently, nodal excision was performed at the Department of Plastic and Esthetic Surgery

of the same hospital. Therapy with anti-tuberculosis drugs was terminated after five months. Complete healing occurred.

Keywords: atypical skin mycobacteriosis, Mycobacterium marinum, anti-tuberculosis drugs.
