Abstract
Actinomycosis is a normal inhabitant of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract. Pelvic actinomycosis is a rare disease that can result in abscess formation, bowel obstruction, and other serious complications. Diagnosis can seldom be established before radical surgery because the disease often mimics pelvic neoplasms and depends on anaerobic culture or histologic identifi cation of the organism. It has been recently recognized that pelvic actinomycosis is associated with long-term use of an intrauterine contraceptive device. But we had experienced a case of pelvic actinomycosis mimicking ovarian malignancy with a right hydronephrosis and lymph node enlargement in aortocarval and left paraaortic area in woman who did not use intra-uterine device.
