Abstract
- Pelvic actionomycosis is a chronic suppurative and granulomatous disease with multiple abscess and draining sinus tracts caused by Actinomyces, a Gram-positive, non-acid-fast, anaerobic bacterium. Actinomycosis is a rare disease, especially in the female genital tract, which is confused with malignancy and other inflammatory diseases because of its infiltrative nature and its tendency to invade normal anatomic barriers. We have experienced a case of pelvic actinomycosis with intestinal fistula and report it with brief review of literatures.
