Abstract

Abdominal actinomycosis was localized in the liver with intra-abdominal abscesses. The disease had evolved for several years before diagnosis. Percutaneous interventional radiology allowed taking biopsies which confirmed the diagnosis. Percutaneous drainage of the intra-abdominal abscesses with antibiotherapy was successful without iterative surgery.
