Actinomycosis is considered the most misdiagnosed disease usually involving the cervico fascial region, thorax, abdomen and occasionally also the pelvis, usually in case of the females using intra-uterine devices. The involvement of the urinary tract is rare and primary actinomycosis of urinary bladder is still rarer. The disease is usually diagnosed by demonstration of the discharged sulphur granules. In our case this was not the usual presentation and the patient was first diagnosed as having appendicular mass and then bladder malignancy. The excised mass demonstrated features suggestive of actinomycosis. |
