[How is agonizing leg pain associated with an intrauterine device?]. / In welchem Zusammenhang stehen quälende Beinschmerzen und eine intrauterine Spirale?

ABSTRACT

We report on a typical clinical course of pelvic actinomycosis initial uncharacteristic discomfort develops into a systemic illness associated with a pelvic mass, which progresses so fast that along with the systemic infection further symptoms can be reduced to its growth rate--tiredness, abdominal pain, micturition deficiency, and leg pain. Distinction between malignancy and pelvic actinomycosis could be made only intraoperative. After hysterectomy and with antibiotics the patient recovered quickly.
