title: [Liver actinomycosis: diagnosis using fine-needle punction-aspiration].
abstract: Hepatic actinomycosis is very rare. Usually, the specific diagnosis is only made after exploratory laparotomy and surgical drainage. We present a case diagnosed by cytologic study after fine needle aspiration biopsy. The treatment consisted of longterm antibiotic therapy, at high doses, without surgical drainage.
