Pulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer
Herein, we reported on a case of solid type of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 10-year-old boy. He had productive cough for 40 days. Bronchoscopy was normal. Cmputed tomography revealed a solid large mass in the upper lobe of his left lung with mimicking malignant leisions. He was referred for surgery and underwent left upper lobectomy. Macroscopically, the specimen measured 13×9×5 cm and was crea...

In a 46-year-old female, computed tomography showed an abdominal-pelvic retroperitoneal mass extending from the lower pole of the right kidney to the lower pelvis.

متن کاملEndobronchial actinomycosis.
Endobronchial actinomycosis was found to be the cause of right-sided atelectasis and haemoptysis in a 57 year old man without predisposing conditions. Fibreoptic bronchoscopy revealed occlusion of the intermediate bronchus by yellow-white masses. The diagnosis was confirmed histologically and by positive Actinomyces culture from bioptic material. Prolonged antibiotic treatment resulted in compl...
