Pelvicobdominal actinomycosis associated with an intrauterine contraceptive device. A case of liver dissemination mimicking metastatic ovarian cancer

RL Sandin, JN Greene, JS Sarzier, I Himelright, NN Ku, JF Toney, and W Roberts

A rare case of pelvicoabdominal actinomycosis with liver dissemination is reported in a patient with an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) in place for 10 years. Her initial preoperative diagnosis of metastatic ovarian cancer emphasizes the slow indolent destructive nature of actinomycosis mimicking a malignancy. A history of an indwelling IUCD for several years along with a pelvic mass should prompt consideration of actinomycosis as a possible etiology.
