Intramural gastric actinomycosis is a rare infection mimicking tumors after surgery. Early diagnosis and penicillin treatment are key for this curable condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Gastric surgery can predispose patients to rare infections.
  • Actinomycosis is an uncommon bacterial infection that can affect various organs.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with gastrointestinal symptoms, weight loss, and fever post-gastric operation.
  • Surgical exploration revealed an infiltrating, tumor-like lesion in the stomach.

Findings:

  • Histological examination confirmed intramural gastric actinomycosis.
  • The patient achieved a successful recovery with oral penicillin therapy.

Implications:

  • Intramural gastric actinomycosis is a rare differential diagnosis in post-gastric surgery patients.
