Abstract
Actinomycosis of the female genital tract has greatly increased over the last two decades. A pelvic form of the disease, associated with the use of Intra-uterine Devices (IUD), can severely damage pelvic organs and even can lead to death. We report a case of pelvic actinomycosis presenting as cutaneous fistula.
