Case report: actinomycosis: multinodular pulmonary involvement.
Previous computed tomography reports of pulmonary actinomycosis most commonly describe single, unilateral parenchymal or pleural masses with or without cavitation. The authors describe a thoracic computed tomograph of histologically proven actinomycosis that revealed multiple, bilateral, small pulmonary parenchymal nodules with an associated liver mass, suggesting hematogenous dissemination to the lungs from the liver via the hepatic veins.
