    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces species.
    • Renal actinomycosis is an uncommon manifestation, often presenting as a complex pyo-destructive process.

    Observation:

    • Autopsy of a 69-year-old male revealed a severe pyo-destructive process in the right kidney and surrounding paranephric tissues.
    • Tissue degradation, melting of adjacent structures, and fistula formation were noted.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination identified a destructive form of actinomycotic granulomas.
    • Degenerating druses of the ray fungus and characteristic mycelial inclusions confirmed the diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • This case represents a primary form of renal actinomycosis.
    • Highlights the importance of considering actinomycosis in the differential diagnosis of destructive kidney lesions.
