Factors that may predispose lung transplant recipients to opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections include prolonged corticosteroid use, renal impairment, treatment of acute rejection, and post-transplant diabetes mellitus. We present a unique case of a 63-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus who underwent redo lung transplantation. Three years after her right-sided single redo lung transplant, she presented with right-sided abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Upon examination, computed tomography showed a 4.5 \u00d7 3.3\u2009cm heterogeneous, enhancing right renal mass with a patent renal vein. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a T1\/T2 hypointense, diffusion-restricting, right mid-renal mass that was fluorodeoxyglucose-avid on positron emission tomography. We initially suspected primary renal cell carcinoma. However, after a right nephrectomy, no evidence of neoplasia was observed; instead, a renal abscess containing filamentous bacteria was noted, raising suspicion for infection of the Nocardia<\/jats:italic> species. Special stains confirmed a diagnosis of Nocardia<\/jats:italic> renal abscess. Computed tomography of the chest and brain revealed no lesions consistent with infection. We initiated a long-term therapeutic regimen of anti-Nocardia<\/jats:italic> therapy with imipenem and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2018\/9752860","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,7]],"date-time":"2018-02-07T18:31:54Z","timestamp":1518028314000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Primary Nocardia<\/i> Infection Causing a Fluorodeoxyglucose-Avid Right Renal Mass in a Redo Lung Transplant Recipient"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2018","author":[{"given":"Sreeja","family":"Biswas Roy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mitchell D.","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pradnya D.","family":"Patil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hematology and Oncology, Taussig Cancer Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Trepeta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ross M.","family":"Bremner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Thoracic Surgery, Norton Thoracic Institute, St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9079-709X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tanmay S.","family":"Panchabhai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pulmonary Medicine, Norton Thoracic Institute, St. Joseph\u2019s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1111\/ajt.14129","volume":"17","year":"2017","journal-title":"American Journal of Transplantation"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-6135.2004.00726.x","volume":"4","journal-title":"American Journal of Transplantation"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/134.3.286"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2011.11.016"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1053-2498(01)00394-1"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/318150"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-3062.2008.00338.x"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4111\/kju.2015.56.9.666"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Transplantation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crit\/2018\/9752860.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crit\/2018\/9752860.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crit\/2018\/9752860.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,7]],"date-time":"2018-02-07T18:31:55Z","timestamp":1518028315000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crit\/2018\/9752860\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018]]},"references-count":8,"alternative-id":["9752860","9752860"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2018\/9752860","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6943","2090-6951"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2090-6943"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2090-6951"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018]]}}}
