Abstract

Actinomycosis is a chronic, suppurative, granulomatous and spreading disease which is caused by anaerobic bacteria of the family Actinomycetaceae. It is an endogenous infection and is induced by some predisposing factors that introduce Actinomyces species, which are the normal in habitants of the host, into the mucosa. There are a variety of forms including cervico-fasial, abdominal, toracic, pelvic, cerebral, and cutaneous actinomycosis. Cutaneous actinomycosis is extremely rare. Further more, actinomycosis is frequently undiagnosed or misdiagnosed and thus is not treated correctly. In most cases, definitive diagnosis is made after surgical resection. We present 9-year-old boy who was referred to our center with the complaint of back mass and the histo-pathological examination of excisional biopsy which was performed for excluding malignancy revealed actinomycosis .

Özet

Aktinomikoz, Actinomycetaceae ailesinde yer alan türlerin neden olduğu süregen, irinli, fistül oluşumuna yol açabilen ve yayılabilen bir hastalıktır. Aktinomikoz iç kaynaklıdır, normal floradaki Actinomyces türlerinin mu-kozaya girebilmesi sonucu oluşur. Boyun-yüz, karın, göğüs, pelvis, be-yin ve deri aktinomikozu olmak üzere çeşitli biçimleri vardır. Deri biçimi oldukça seyrektir. Aktinomikoz tanısında genellikle gecikilmekte ya da yanlış tanı konulmaktadır, buna bağlı olarak da yanlış tedavi uygulan-maktadır. Birçok olguda doğru tanı ancak cerrahi işlemden sonra konu-labilmektedir. Bu yazıda, sırtındaki kitle nedeniyle getirilen, ayırıcı tanıda kötü doğalı hastalık düşünülen ve eksizyonel biyopsiyle tanı konulan, dokuz yaşındaki bir aktinomikoz olgusu sunulmuştur.
