Leclercia adecarboxylata is gram-negative, motile, facultative anaerobic bacillus of the En-terobacteriaceae family. It has been rarely isolated from clinical specimens. A 15-year-old boy presented with two nodules on the left lower leg. He said that the first nodule emerged presumably following an injury about 2 years ago, and the second one emerged about 6 months ago. A week before visiting hospital, he felt pain on both nodules. We performed incision & drainage, bacterial culture on the first nodule, and skin biopsy on the second one. During incision & biopsy, we found an approximately 4cm-long wood stick. Histopathologic examination showed foreign body granuloma and Leclercia adecarboxylata was isolated from the bacterial culture. We report an interesting case of the skin lesion following wood stick injury, which was asymptomatic during last 2 years and later diagnosed as Leclercia adecarboxylata infection.
