Introduction: Pleuropulmonary with bony and cutaneous involvement of salmonella infection is a very rare condition and no case was ever reported in Lebanon. Case presentation: We report a case of 39-year-old immunocompetent man, with no past medical history, presented with a right bulging chest wall mass. The chest radiographs revealed pleural effusion and presence of a hypodense central necrosis at right lower lung field. Salmonella was identified from the cultures of fine needle aspiration (FNA) form the mass. After treating salmonella with adequate antibiotics, the patient was improved. Discussion: salmonella infection is a common bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. Infection may spread beyond the intestine causing many complications like in our reported case. Conclusion: we should suspect salmonellosis in any patient presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms followed by pleuropneumonia with chest wall infection.
