Actinomycosis is an infection due to an anaerobic Gram-positive bacilus bacteria: Actinomyces. Tubo-ovarian locallisation is rare. It more often appears clinically as a pseudo-tumoral and feverish syndrom, evoking wrongly a malignant tumoral pathology, and often leads to a mutilating surgical treatment. Intra-uterine device appears as the principal favorable factor of this pathology.
