Actinomycosis imitating an adrenal tumor.
Abdominal actinomycosis is a rare condition that may mimic malignant disease. The authors report a case of adrenal actinomycosis discovered incidentally by computed tomography scan of the abdomen. Frozen sections and culture of the mass were consistent with actinomycosis. The diagnosis and management of actinomycosis is discussed in detail.
