title: [Colonic actinomycosis. Clinical, endoscopic and histological aspects in one patient].
abstract: Colonic location of actinomycosis must be distinguished from infected colonic carcinoma and other colonic inflammatory pseudotumors. The diagnosis is often made by histological examination of the tumor. Initial treatment consists in surgery, followed by an antibiotic treatment. We report the case of a 32-year old woman with a right colonic actinomycosis.
