Shah Md Badruddoza, Rukhshana Akhter Jahan.
Abdominal actinomycosis.
Pak J Med Sci Jan ;27(1):206-7.

This case report describes abdominal Actinomycosis of the greater omentum which was detected accidentally in a patient who had been suffering from right lower quadrant abdominal pain mimicking acute appendicitis. She had history of previous appendisectomy. During surgery multifocal masses were detected in greater omentum, suspicious of inflammation. She had partial omentectomy done and the specimen was sent for histopathological examination. The histopathological examination confirmed it to be Actinomycosis. The patient had an intensive antibiotic therapy prescribed in order to prevent a disease relapse because it was not sure whether the remaining part of omentum was affected by microscopic Actinomycosis.
