Özet
Actinomycosis is a chronic, suppurative disease characterized with granulomatosis and fibrosis. Although it causes oral and cervicofacial infections generally, in 20% of cases it is abdomino-pelvic located. A 24-year-old male patient was examined with the diagnosis of diaphragm, adrenale and chest wall-invasive mass in liver vault. Exploration and mass excision were made with pre-diagnosis of liver tumor and the pathologic result of the patient was reported to be Actinomyces infection. Having no problem in the post-operative period, patient was discharged following the arrangement of antibiotic treatment.
