"It may either occur due to the virulence of the organism or may be facilitated by previous thoracic surgery (e.g. thoracotomy) or trauma ⁴allowing infection to track through. It occurs commonly to subcutaneous tissues of the chest wall, but can also spread to involve other sites such as the oesophageal, breast, retroperitoneal, peritoneal, pericardial, and paravertebral regions. The resultant subcutaneous abscess may eventually rupture through the skin."
