having a mass at the anterior bladder wall and at the anterior abdominal wall is reported.

bladder mucosa. Pre-operative computerized tomography suspected bladder tumor.
Laparotomy revealed an inflammatory firm mass at the anterior bladder wall and another
mass at the anterior abdominal wall. Partial cystectomy and excision of the mass at the
anterior abdominal wall were performed. After the pathological examination confirmed
actinomycosis, the patient was treated post operatively with penicillin. She recovered well.
