[Therapeutic and diagnostic difficulties of abdominal actinomycosis: about one case in a Tunisian female patient].

We report a case of a 58 years old woman admitted to our institution for a pain of the right iliac fossa with a mass. The diagnosis was established after surgical intervention and histological examination. The treatment was surgical resection and antibiotherapy by amoxcillin during 6 months. The primary diagnosis of abdominal pelvic actinomycosis is difficult. All organs and anatomic structures of the abdomen can be involved. Even with extensive infection, combined operative and antibiotic therapy allows cure in most cases. PMID: 27100860 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
