An unusual case of lung abscess secondary to round pneumonia caused by recurrent Klebsiella pneumoniae strain and the role of occult metastases tumor.

Round pneumonia is an uncommon form of community-acquired pneumonia usually found in children.

Further investigation regarding the relationship between recurrent infection and metastases is needed.
