Thanks to the collaborative work between the orthopedic and general surgeons, pathologist and microbiologist, the diagnosis of actinomycosis was made pre-operatively, saving this 15-year-old patient from a tumor resection protocol.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n Actinomycetomas have often been reported to present in the same way as several abdominal and gynecological neoplasms, and on rare occasions been described as mimicking other soft-tissue sarcomas, leading to unnecessary morbid tumor resection protocols. The most common cause of abdominal actinomycosis is perforated appendicitis, and may present several years later.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n \n While faced with a soft tissue mass transgressing tissue planes and possibly extending to the region of the right lower quadrant, especially with a history of previous perforated appendicitis, one should consider the possibility of an abscess caused by pathogens of intestinal origin, including the gram positive anaerobe\n Actinomycosis israelii<\/jats:italic>\n . Failure to actively search for this pathogen, which is not detectable with routine staining techniques and may take up to 1-2 weeks to isolate, may lead to unnecessary morbid surgical procedures.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2013.11.002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,21]],"date-time":"2013-11-21T21:46:32Z","timestamp":1385070392000},"page":"43-46","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Para-iliac actinomycetoma presenting as sarcoma, a late complication of appendicitis"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Pierre","family":"Navarre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie-Andr\u00e9e","family":"Cantin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marc H.","family":"Isler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-1-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1019","DOI":"10.1097\/SMJ.0b013e3181864c1f","article-title":"Actinomycosis: diagnosis and management","volume":"101","author":"Brook","year":"2008","journal-title":"South Med J"},{"key":"R2-1-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"441","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2006.06.009","article-title":"Abdominal actinomycosis","volume":"5","author":"Garner","year":"2007","journal-title":"Int J Surg"},{"key":"R3-1-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02586757","article-title":"Colonic actinomycosis mimicking carcinoma","volume":"22","author":"Cowgill","year":"1979","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"key":"R4-1-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"872","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02238030","article-title":"Rare presentation of actinomycosis as an abdominal mass: Report of a case","volume":"43","author":"Meyer","year":"2000","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"key":"R5-1-20260114","first-page":"781","article-title":"Abdominal actinomycosis","volume":"28","author":"Putman","year":"1950","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"R6-1-20260114","first-page":"283","article-title":"Retroperitoneal fibrosis and obstructive uropathy due to actinomycosis: case report of a treatment approach","volume":"94","author":"Yagmurdur","year":"2009","journal-title":"Int Surg"},{"key":"R7-1-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"586","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gyobfe.2005.05.024","article-title":"Pelvic pseudotumoral actinomycosis with multisegmental lumbosacral root failure: a case report","volume":"33","author":"Mtaallah","year":"2005","journal-title":"Gynecol Obstet Fertil"},{"key":"R8-1-20260114","first-page":"2857","article-title":"Abdominal actinomycosis: actinomycotic abscess 10 years after appendectomy","volume":"112","author":"Moosmayer","year":"1992","journal-title":"Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen"},{"key":"R9-1-20260114","first-page":"2453","article-title":"Abdominal actinomycosis presenting as a malignant tumor -
