Summary:
Objective: The presentation of two unusual cases of pelvic actinomycosis.
Subject: Case reports.
Settings: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hospital Kladno.
Subject and Method: The observation of two cases of pelvic actinomycosis. These cases were complicated
by the abdominal wall fistula in one case and vaginal fistula in the other.
Conclusion: Actinomycosis is a chronic disease with tendency to progress per continuitatem into neighbouring
tissues and with tendency to formation of fistulas. Two less common localisations of progress of
the disease are described; it means the abdominal wall and vagina. In spite of a more advanced stadium,
if adequately treated, a recovery ad integrum is common.
