Özet

Actinomyces spp., cause a chronic suppurative, granulomatous disease which is characterized clinically by extensive abscess formation, recurrent draining sinuses and fistulae and histologically by the presence of the so-called sulphur granules. Colonic actinomycosis is relatively rare, and its diagnosis is difficult. In this paper, we present a patient operated due to abdominal mass and diagnosed as transverse colon actinomycosis postoperatively, and discuss this case by reviewing the literature.
