Subcutaneous nodular lesion (arrow) measuring 3 cm × 2.5 cm below elbow of patient in a case of Mycoplasma arginini cellulitis, tenosynovitis, and arthritis in kidney transplant recipient, Slovenia, 2024. The patient reported no pain in this nodule, and it was excised after discharge and 3 weeks of doxycycline treatment. Broad-range PCR confirmed M. arginini with 100% sequence identity, but Mycoplasma spp. culture was negative. Histopathology showed mild inflammatory changes consistent with bacterial infection.
