Splenic abscess is not a common condition and actinomyces
as a cause is very rarely reported. We report a case of actinomycosis
of spleen in a 12 year-old boy, with a few days history
of abdominal pain and fever. Past medical history was not
significant. Due to sever abdominal pain and tenderness condition
laparatomy was done that a small perforated area was
seen on hilum of spleen, so splenectomy was done. In the histological
sections typical actinomyces ball surrounded by
many inflammatory cells are seen. The patient received penicillin
and discharged in a good condition. This has not been
previously reported in the pediatric literature.
