Pediatric appendicular actinomycosis: a case report and literature review
CONCLUSIONS: Although appendicitis is very common in the general population, appendicitis associated with ACM is very rare, accounting for 0.02% - 0.06%, especially in the pediatric population. Diagnosis can be very challenging because they usually present with non-specific symptoms, and can form masses that mimic malignancies. Although rare, clinicians and pathologists should be aware of this entity. Satisfactory results and complete cure are achieved with adequate antibiotic therapy and surgery. In most cases, if there are no associated diseases, early and accurate diagnosis ensure an excellent prognosis.PMID:37661685 | ...

Three cases of ovarian actinomycosis with literature review
CONCLUSIONS: Ovarian actinomycosis is closely related to long-term IUD implantation. The clinical manifestations and imaging features of this disease are not specific; therefore, preoperative diagnosis is difficult. The disease is easily misdiagnosed as ovarian cancer. Sulfur granules are signs of ovarian actinomycosis, and thus, those with this manifestation should be carefully screened by pathologic examination. Surgery combined with antibiotic treatment is effective for ovarian actinomycosis, resulting in a good prognosis.PMID:37559683 | PMC:PMC10408434 (Source: International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology)
