Abstract:

Primary vesical actinomycosis is an extremely rare infection with only a few cases reported in literature. It is commonly misdiagnosed as a bladder mass and definitive diagnosis is only possible after histopathological examination of the infected tissue. We present a case primary vesical actinomycosis which was diagnosed with bladder mass based on clinical and radiological reports. However, histopathological reports confirmed Actinomycosis with changes of cystitis cystica. The patient was successfully managed with amoxicillin and potassium clavulanate. We need to consider Actinomycosis as a differential diagnosis in cases presenting as bladder mass as both diseases have different treatment modalities and prognosis.
