Özet
Kırkdört yaşında, 6 ay önce total abdominal histerekromi ameliyatı geçiren hasta, alt karın ağrısı şikayeti ile hastaneye başvurdu. Vagende yaklaşık 3x4x4 cm'lik granüloması olan hastanın, PAP smearı aktinomikozis enfeksiyonu ile uyumlu bulundu. Granülomanın çıkarılması ile önceki ameliyatına ait sütur materyalinin orada kaldığı ve bunun da fırsatçı enfeksiyona yol açtığı gösterildi.
