ABSTRACT
The case of a female patient, aged 37, with signs of partial intestinal obstruction, repeated cystitis and a tumoral mass in the hypogastrium is reported. Preoperative examinations could not establish the nature of the tumour. Colonoscopy as well as barium enema stopped at a sharp angulation of the sigmoid. Laparotomy evidenced an inflammatory tumour, with departure point in the urinary bladder, which involved the sigmoid and the uterus. After adhesiotomy a partial cystectomy was performed. The macroscopic aspect of the bladder was pseudopolypoid, while the microscopic one was typical for actinomycosis. The patient was discharged cured and was prescribed a penicillin course for 4 weeks.
