RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

El objetivo de este artículo es añadir que en una forma de presentación nunca antes sido publicada tumor renal con sangrado retroperitoneal.

MÉTODOS:

Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 27 años con síndrome constitucional y dolor en flanco derecho de cinco meses de evolución. Las pruebas radiológicas mostraron un tumor renal derecho con sospecha de sangrado retroperitoneal. Se realizó nefrectomía radical derecha y el estudio patológico encontró colonias de actinomices. El paciente recibió penicilina durante ocho semanas después de la cirugía y no tuvo secuelas.

CONCLUSIONES:

La actinomicosis renal es una infección crónica poco frecuente producida por actinomices, generalmente actinomices israelii, una bacteria gram positiva anaerobia de difícil diagnóstico debido a los hallazgos clínicos y radiológicos inespecíficos. Es importante diagnóstico precoz de la actinomicosis renal para evitar la cirugía, puesto que el actinomices responde bien a altas dosis de penicilina
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this case report is to add to the literature a new case of renal actinomycosis, but with a form of presentation that has never been reported renal tumor with retroperitoneal bleeding. METHODS/

RESULTS:

We present the case of a 27 year old woman, with a 5-month history of general syndrome and right flank pain. Radiological findings showed a right renal tumor with suspicious of retroperitoneal bleeding. Right radical nephrectomy was performed and the pathological examination of the specimen found actinomyces colonies. The patient received 8 weeks of Penicillin after surgery and had none sequelae.

CONCLUSIONS:

Renal actinomycosis is an uncommon chronic infection caused by a gram-positive anaerobic actinomyces bacteria, usually actinomyces israelii, not easily diagnosed because of non-specific clinical and radiological findings. Early diagnosis of renal actinomycosis is important to avoid surgery since actinomyces respond well to high doses of Penicillin
