Abstract: | Reported is the rare case of an actinomycosis of the right Fallopian tube. The clinical picture is characterized by a comparatively sudden onset of abdominal pain, obstipation and feaver as well as a markedly increased ESR. Good co-operation between the various clinical disciplines (urology, surgery, internal medicine, gynecology) lead to an exact preoperative localization of the scaring and infiltrating process that is then verified by laparotomy. The right adnexae show massive inflammatory infiltrates and form a conglomerate tumor with the adjacent sigma and appendix. Characteristic actinomycetic druses are found histologically only in the right Fallopian tube. On the left side a florid non-specific salpingitis is antibiotics is withoug complications. Mode of infection, differential diagnosis and prognosis that is dependent on a correct diagnosis at an early stage are discussed. |
