Abdominopelvic actinomycosis associated with intrauterine devices. Two case reports

Two case reports of abdominopelvic actinomycosis associated with an intrauterine device (IUD) are presented. In the first case, the association was difficult to establish and in the second one, a pelvic malignancy was suspected. The diagnosis and treatment of IUD-associated abdominopelvic actinomycosis are discussed on the basis of the present cases and the literature.
