PELVIC ACTINOMYCOSIS PRESENTING WITH A RECTAL STRICTURE - REPORT OF ACASE

We present herein the case of a patient with actinomycosis involving t he pelvic cavity, who presented with a rectal stricture. It is rare fo r this type of actinomycosis to be accurately diagnosed preoperatively , but a precise diagnosis, made using needle biopsy guided by computed tomography allowed for successful treatment by resection of the granu lation tissue surrounding the rectal stricture through a transsacral a pproach.
