Abstract
Abstract Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative granulomatous inflammation caused by Actinomyces species . Abdominal actinomycosis is a rare condition, with very low incidence in childhood, and usually associated to trauma or perforation of hollow viscera. We are presenting a case of a ten-year-old boy with omental actinomycosis mimic and appendiceal infection, without a history of trauma or perforation, suggesting a hemmatogen spread. The complete resection of the affected tissue may warrant a cure in spite of a short antibiotic curse.
