Abstract

Actiomycosis is an uncommon chronic infectious disease. Common sites of involvement include the cervicofacial, thoracic, and abdominopelvic regions. In abdominopelvic actinomycosis, the ileocecal region and appendix are mostly affected. Here, we reported a female patient with limited appendiceal actinomycosis.
