A Mycobacterium marinum panaris-like cutaneous injury was observed in a 5-year old child. Such an affection may require surgical advice. Lack of its knowledge may lead to serious therapeutic mistakes and complications. The authors emphasize the epidemiologic, clinical and paraclinical data allowing the diagnosis and leading to the right treatment. They also point out the place of surgical therapy in these lesions.
