Abdominal wall actinomycosis associated with use of an intrauterine device: a case report

The association between pelvic actinomycosis and the use of intrauterine devices is well established. However, abdominal wall actinomycosis without clinical involvement of the pelvic organs has been reported only once in the literature. The authors present a second case, which occurred in a 24-year-old woman who was using a copper 7 intrauterine device.
