description Abdominal actinomycosis (AMC) is a rare infection in children. The appendix is the most common intra-abdominal organ involved. It presents as an undifferentiated mass, forming abscesses and fistulas in the right lower quadrant.

Long-term antibiotic treatment and follow-up by ultrasound and laboratory controls are necessary.
