COLON ACTINOMYCOSIS: PROBLEMS OF CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC AND MORPHOLOGICAL VERIFICATION OF THE DIAGNOSIS
Abstract
Clinical case of a patient with abdominal actinomycosis with localization of lesions in the cecum has been presented. The feature of this disease is the similarity of clinical and endoscopic picture with malignant process in the colon. This disease is rare, characterized by productive purulent inflammation with abscesses and fistulas formation and involvement surrounding organs in the pathological process to form a dense tumor infiltrates. Differential diagnosis of abdominal actinomycosis presents certain difficulties and requires morphological verification with using additional histochemical methods.
