Actinomycose fessière

Other than the most unusual clinical aspect, the originality of this case of actinomycosis of the buttocks is based on its potential appendix origin, 4 years after acute appendicitis, with slow posterior fistulation. Other cases of actinomycosis of appendix origin have been reported and its delayed onset following the intervention has been documented. The pseudo-sarcomatous aspect was responsible for diagnostic wandering. The histological image and, subsequently, the results of the bacteriological culture confirmed the diagnosis.
