Abstract
- Actinomycosis is a rare opportunistic infection by Actinomyces israelii that may be localized to cervicofacial, thoracic and abdominopelvic sites. Pelvic actinomycosis commonly arises from genital tract in women with an intrauterine device. Vesical actinomycosis is very rare and imaging features are suggestive of bladder tumor. Herein we report two cases of vesical actinomycosis which were misdiagnosed as bladder tumor preoperatively.
