Abstract
|
|
|
Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative and granulomatous disease characterized by peripheral spread and extension to contiguous tissue, rare hematogenous spread, the formation of multiple draining sinus tracts. Pelvic actinomycosis is being
reported
with increasing frequency in association with intrauterine contraceptive devices, and the most common organism is Actinomyces israelii. The inflammatory changes created may fool the examiner into believing that the findings are due to advanced
cervical
or ovarian cancer. We experienced a case of pelvic actinomycosis associated with an intrauterine contraceptive device(Cu-T) and report on it with a brief review and related literature.
