Abstract
Pelvic actinomycosis is an uncommon but important chronic infection caused by a gram positive bacterium of the actinomyces genus. Actinomices can affect different organs and tissues of the body, and the pelvic form usually is presented as a tubo-ovarian abscess and less frequently, as an invasive pelvic actinomycosis (IPA). IPA spreads contiguously from the genital tract to the adjacent viscera, causing a diffuse pseudotumoral pelvic tumor, that is often mistaken for a pelvic neoplasm. Its most common cause is the use of intrauterine devices, which are used mostly for birth control. The IPA represents a great challenge for the gynecologist due to the difficulties in its diagnosis and management.
