ABSTRACT
Pelvic actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative and granulomatous disease with multiple abscess and draining sinus tracts caused by Actinomyces, a Gram-positive, anaerobic, non-acid-fast bacterium. Pelvic actinomycosis is a rare disease, but it is more common with intrauterine device users than others. The symptoms and signs of pelvic actinomycosis are variable, from asymptomatic to mimicking the symptoms and signs of pelvic mass or acute peritonitis, and sometimes it is difficult to discriminate pelvic malignancy from actinomycosis. Identifying the typical "sulfur granule" with hematoxylin-eosin stain and detecting the actinomycotic colony in Gram stain may suggest the diagnosis. We have experienced a case of pelvic actinomycosis complicated by right tuboovarian abscess in a 39-year-old woman using intrauterine device and report it with brief review of literatures.
