Primary hepatic actinomycosis, a rare liver infection, can mimic tumors and requires a high suspicion for accurate diagnosis. Prompt antibiotic treatment is crucial for recovery, avoiding unnecessary liver surgery.
Area of Science:
- Hepatology
- Infectious Diseases
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Primary hepatic actinomycosis (HA) is a rare, chronic abscess-forming infection.
- Caused by Actinomyces, it often mimics liver tumors.
- HA presents with subacute or chronic inflammation, leading to frequent misdiagnosis.
