The authors report a case of abdominopelvic actinomycosis, a rare bacterial infection. This case is exceptional for its clinical tumoral expression with fistulization through the skin, and for its rapid diagnosis by ultrasonically-guided needle biopsy. The clinical, bacteriological, histological and therapeutic aspects of actinomycosis are detailed.
