The diagnosis is usually made after the patient undergoes an operation and tissue is available for pathological evaluation. When the diagnosis is made, the patient should be treated with the appropriate long-term antibiotics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 69-year-old male patient was transferred to our hospital complaining of a palpable mass, painful abdominal discomfort, weight loss, and night sweating. After colonoscopy and radiologic studies, our presumptive diagnosis was intestinal lymphoma combined with ileocecal intussusception. He was found to have abdominal actinomycosis after surgery and successfully treated with ampicillin for six months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pre-operative radiological imaging in abdominal actinomycosis is unlikely to allow a definitive diagnosis, but CT scanning is the single most useful imaging modality. Although we performed preoperative radiological studies, including CT, none led to a diagnosis of abdominal actinomycosis, we mistakenly considered the case as intestinal lymphoma combined with ileocecal intussusception.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Physicians should include abdominal actinomycosis in the differential diagnosis when an abdominal mass presents an irregular, infiltrative growth pattern, even though ileocecal intussusception is an extremely rare presentation in abdominal actinomycosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2019.05.063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,6,8]],"date-time":"2019-06-08T10:58:01Z","timestamp":1559991481000},"page":"171-174","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Abdominal actinomycosis misconceived as intestinal lymphoma"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Young-Hoon","family":"Roh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ki-Jae","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyung-Do","family":"Byun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mee-Sook","family":"Roh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hong-Jo","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-45-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9428650","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/9428650","article-title":"Pelvic actinomycosis","volume":"2017","author":"Garcia-Garcia","year":"2017","journal-title":"Can.
