    A rare case of pelvic actinomycosis presented as a pelvic mass. Imaging revealed rectal compression and displacement, highlighting the importance of considering actinomycosis in pelvic masses.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pelvic Surgery

    Background:

    • Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection.
    • Pelvic actinomycosis can mimic other pelvic pathologies.
    • Diagnosis often relies on a combination of clinical, imaging, and pathological findings.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a clinically and radiographically evident pelvic mass.
    • Barium enema demonstrated extrinsic rectal compression and narrowing with mucosal irregularities.
    • Computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed a pelvic mass causing rectal displacement.

    Findings:

    • The imaging findings were consistent with a pelvic mass.
    • The specific etiology was confirmed as actinomycosis.
    • Surgical intervention was considered for the pelvic mass.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering actinomycosis in the differential diagnosis of pelvic masses.
    • Advanced imaging techniques like CT are crucial for characterizing pelvic masses.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is vital for effective treatment of pelvic actinomycosis.
