    A rare case of caecal actinomycosis, an infection, was successfully treated with a right hemicolectomy. Early clinical recognition is vital to distinguish this condition from cancerous tumors.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Caecal actinomycosis is a rare bacterial infection that can mimic intra-abdominal malignancies.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a palpable mass in the right iliac fossa, suggestive of a tumor.
    • Diagnostic workup revealed actinomycosis of the cecum.

    Findings:

    • Surgical resection via right hemicolectomy resulted in complete resolution of the infection.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of actinomycosis.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering actinomycosis in the differential diagnosis of right iliac fossa masses.
