Clinical and radiological characteristics of pulmonary actinomycosis mimicking lung malignancy.

Introduction: Pulmonary actinomycosis, clinically and radiologically, mimics abscess, tuberculosis, and lung malignancy, resulting in misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis. In this study, we analyzed the clinicoradiological features of pulmonary actinomycosis, the presence of any differences between clinical prediagnosis and radiological diagnosis, and whether imaging modalities help distinguish pulmonary actinomycosis from lung cancer.

Methods: A total of 22 patients who had a histopathological diagnosis of actinomycosis in a tertiary health center participated in this study.
