Abdominal actinomycosis: a report of three cases. 1983

R C Fowler, and K C Simpkins

Abdominal actinomycosis is a rare condition which is difficult to diagnose because of its close resemblance to other, more common conditions. The clinical and radiological features of three cases are described and illustrated. The diagnosis is suggested by the rapid development of a fixed mass with fistulae.
