Abstract

The problems of the diagnosis of deep mycoses such as candidiasis, aspergillosis and actinomycosis most frequent in this country are discussed. A classification system for deep mycoses based on the characteristics of the causative agents which is of practical value is presented. The microscopic and cultural diagnosticating of deep mycoses is described in detail. A brief information on the principles of the treatment of the mycoses is given.

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.

Actinomycosis of the thyroid gland masquerading as a neoplasm.

Actinomycetal infections involving the head and neck often pose a diagnostic puzzle to the otolaryngologist. A rare case of unilateral thyroid swelling due to actinomycosis is described. Although the clinical, laboratory and imaging studies strongly suggested a thyroid neoplasm, the histological examination revealed the presence of Actinomyces sp. in the excised lesion. The manifestations of actinomycosis of the head and neck, its pathogenesis and the difficulties encountered in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease are hereby reviewed.
