[Inguinal actinomycoses].

Abstract

The article describes a patient with the unusual inguinal location of actinomycosis. Actinomycosis is encountered relatively seldom in clinical practice, and differential diagnoses such as abscess/fistulas caused by other microorganisms, as well as neoplasms, should be considered.

Retroperitoneal actinomycosis masquerading as inflammatory pseudotumor.

Inflammatory pseudotumors present clinically as mass lesions and microscopically show a spectrum of nonspecific inflammatory and regenerative changes. When the mesentery or retroperitoneum are involved, differentiation from inflammatory fibrosarcoma poses a diagnostic problem. The authors report on a 7-year-old boy who presented with fever, anemia, weight loss, and a retroperitoneal mass. Needle biopsy results of the mass showed features consistent with inflammatory pseudotumor. Examination of the resected mass showed actinomycosis.
