RESUMO
The Abdominal Actinomycosis (AA) is a rare and often unrecognised suppurative chronic illness. The diagnosis is difficult. It can have a variety of clinical manifestations and can mimic a malignancy. It's established by histology of surgical biopsy. We report a case of a 58 years old woman admitted to our institution for a pain of the right iliac fossa with a mass. The diagnosis was established after surgical intervention and histological examination. The treatment was surgical resection and antibiotherapy by amoxcillin during 6 months. The primary diagnosis of abdominal pelvic actinomycosis is difficult. All organs and anatomic structures of the abdomen can be involved. Even with extensive infection, combined operative and antibiotic therapy allows cure in most cases.

Amebiasis is a rarely localized in the spleen, and its preoperative diagnosis is difficult. We report the case of an 11-year-old Tunisian girl who presented with fever and left upper-quadrant abdominal pain.

GOAL: Discuss the different therapeutic options based on results of a series of patients undergoing operation for hydatid cyst ruptured into the biliary tract. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective study of 22 patients operated on between 2001 and 2007 for hydatid cyst ruptured into the biliary tract. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 37 years old. There were 14 men and eight women. Cholangitis was present in 59% of patients and isolated pain in the right upper quadrant was found in 20% of patients. Procedures performed included internal fistula drainage through the sphincter of Oddi (37.3%), cystobiliary disconnection by percutaneous transhepatic cystocholedochostomy (27.3%), bipolar drainage (27.3%), direct suture closure of the fistula (9.1%). The postoperative course was uneventful in 15 patients. Specific morbidity concerned four patients. An external biliary fistula and suppuration of the residual cavity was observed in two patients each. One patient died. Median survival was 24 months. No recurrence or late complications were seen in this series. CONCLUSION: The management of hydatid cyst ruptured into the biliary tract is not consensual. Radical treatment is best because it provides definitive treatment of both the fistula and the cyst at the same time. However, conservative treatment is the preferred treatment in endemic countries. The choice of the technique depends of the experience of the surgeon, as well as local and topographic conditions. The best treatment remains preventive by eradication of echinococcosis.

Primary hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland remains an exceptional localization. The adrenal gland is an uncommon site even in our country in which echinococcal disease is endemic. We report the case of a 38-year-old woman who consulted for left back pain. The CT scan showed a cystic mass in the left retroperitoneal area with a calcified wall. The patient underwent surgery which confirmed a diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the left adrenal gland. The surgical treatment consisted on a total resection of the cyst, without rupture of the cystic wall and preserving the gland. The diagnosis was confirmed on macroscopic and histological examination of the resected piece. The postoperative course was uneventful. No recurrence had occurred after 36 months of follow-up.
