Abstract: Actinomycosis is a subacute-to-chronic bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces bacilli which is filamentous, gram-positive, non–acid-fast, anaerobic-to-microaerophilic bacteria. Abdominal actinomycosis can mimic intra-abdominal malignancies with presenting clinical features like chronic lower abdominal pain, weight loss, and palpable mass. Preoperative diagnosis based on radiological tests is challenging.
