Abstract:

We report a rare case of gallbladder actinomycosis in an 88 years old man. The patient presented with a clinical feature of an acute cholecystitis, and a radiological finding mimicking a gallbladder carcinoma. The diagnosis of actinomycosis was made by histopathological examination of the surgical specimen, which is often the case in such infection. The surgery was followed by a longterm antibiotic treatment to prevent recurrence.

Keywords:

Actinomycosis; gallbladder; cholecystectomy; penicillin
