Actinomicosis pélvica en una paciente sin relaciones sexuales previas

Abstract

The presence of an abdominal mass may be symptomatic or it could be found in a routine physical examination. Before this is diagnosed some further tests should be done for the differential diagnosis of the mass, whether it is of gynaecological origin and if the pathology is benign or malignant. The mass may be accompanied by acute or chronic pain. Pelvic actinomycosis is a rare cause of such signs and it is usually associated with the use of an intrauterine device. Here we present a case of chronic abdominal pain with cyst of ovary in a 20-year-old patient without previous sexual activity.
