Abstract :

Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative granulomatous inflammation caused by at least six known species; the most common being Actinomyces israelii.

Ovary is a rare site for pelvic actinomycosis and, it’s association with ovarian fioma, which is a benign tumor arising from stromal elements of ovary is not well documented.

Presenting herewith, one such rare case in a 35–year–old female who was clinically diagnosed as a case of bilateral solid–cystic ovarian mass which on gross showed features of fioma of ovary and on microscopy multiple actinomycotic colonies were seen within the ovarian stroma.

Based on these findings, a rare diagnosis of Actinomycosis with ovarian fioma was made.
