Abstract EN
Pelvic and intra-abdominal Actinomycosis can be difficult to diagnose preoperatively and it may also mimic many other diseases, including malignancies.
We present a patient with pelvic Actinomycosis probably caused by a long-standing intrauterine device (IUD).
We emphasize the challenges in diagnostic process and stress that though a rare disease, intra-abdominal Actinomycosis should be suspected in cases with intra-abdominal mass of uncertain etiology.
The early recognition may spare the patient from extensive surgical operation.
