Abstract:
Abdominal actinomycosis is a chronic, progressive, suppurative disease with a fa-vorable response tointravenous treatment with penicillin. In many instances, howev-er, its clinical and radiological findings mayoverlap with those of other inflammatory and neoplastic conditions, and the familiarity with the variousradiological features can thus avoid diagnostic delay s. The purpose of this paper is to describe and discuss theCT findings of abdominal actinomycosis.
