Abstract

Pelvic actinomycosis is an uncommon infection usually associated with the use of the intrauterine contraceptive device. This may present to the gynaecologist with clinical features suggestive of pelvic malignancy. We present 3 cases of patients presenting to a gynaecologic oncology unit with features suggestive of ovarian cancer and discuss the diagnosis and management of this disease.
