Abstrakt		A 48-year-old female, presented as a case of acute abdomen with a small-bowel obstruction and a palpable hypogastric mass, was urgently operated. Laparotomy revealed a tumor mass of unknown origin that included a loop of the small bowel by compressing it. Resection of the tumor including a portion of the large and small bowel was performed, and pathohistological examination revealed actinomycosis. The cause of abdominal actinomycosis in this patient could be the implantation of an intrauterine device nine years prior to the operation.
