It is a normal commensal which becomes pathogenic upon any breach in the mucosa. We report the case of cervical actinomycosis in a 45-year-old female who had a mass per vagina for 2 years. There was no history of any intrauterine contraceptive device insertion. The radiological diagnosis was a neoplasm as the lesion is extending into the adjacent structures. Surgery was planned and a biopsy was taken which revealed\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Actinomyces<\/jats:italic>\n                      . The patient was administered long-term penicillins and advised follow-up. Pelvic actinomycosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses. Even though actinomycosis can present as a large pelvic mass invading adjacent structures, it can be treated with medications and without any surgical intervention.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijabmr.ijabmr_71_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]],"date-time":"2022-07-26T03:42:13Z","timestamp":1658806933000},"page":"214-216","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Actinomycosis of the Cervix Mimicking Stage II Cervical Cancer"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Chitturi","family":"Ramya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renuka V.","family":"Inuganti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tejaswini","family":"Vaddatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nasseruddin","family":"Shaik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-12-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"40","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-5-40","article-title":"Pelvic actinomycosis presenting as a malignant pelvic mass:A casereport","volume":"5","author":"Simsek","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Med Case Rep"},{"key":"R2-12-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.1016\/0029-7844(95)00350-9","article-title":"Intrauterine contraceptive device-associated actinomycotic abscess and Actinomyces detection on cervical smear","volume":"87","author":"Fiorino","year":"1996","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R3-12-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"73","DOI":"10.1783\/0000000052973004","article-title":"Pelvic actinomycosis:Still a cause for concern","volume":"31","author":"Baird","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care"},{"key":"R4-12-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9428650","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/9428650","article-title":"Pelvic actinomycosis","volume":"2017","author":"Garc\u00eda-Garc\u00eda","year":"2017","journal-title":"Can J Infect Dis Med Microbiol"},{"key":"R5-12-20240902","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1562","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1975.00330120040006","article-title":"A study of 57 cases of actinomycosis over a 36-year period.
