Hepatic Actinomycosis: 4 Case Reports and Literature Review
Abstract
Actinomycosis is a rare disease of the liver, which often manifests as an abscess or as a tumor. This disease is quite difficult to differentiate from other pathological changes in the liver. 4 patients with the verified diagnosis of actinomycosis of a liver have been treated at A.V. Vishnevsky Institute of surgery. Based on the analysis of literature data and results of clinical examination of the patients basic forms and most important US, CT and MRI diagnostic signs of hepatic actinomycosis were revealed. The third form of actinomycosis imitating a tumor of gate of a liver and which is followed by liver abscesses is for the first time revealed. It is expedient to consider this form of actinomycosis when performing differential diagnostics.
