Perforated Diverticulosis Complicated with Actinomycosis and Presented as Pelvic Malignancy
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
A 48-year-old nonsmoker female with no significant past medical history is admitted to the hospital with lower abdominal pain, fatigue, yellow vaginal discharge and unintentionally weight loss. On physical examination there was a palpable mass extending from supra-pubic to supra-umbilical area and significant foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Computerized tomography of Pelvis revealed a mass like structure but biopsy showed acute inflammatory process with smooth muscle proliferation and fibro-adipose tissue infiltrated with histiocytes. Pathology revealed colonies of Actinomyces.
