Abstract

Actinomycosis is an uncommon chronic granulomatous infection caused by gram-positive anaerobic bacterium, Actinomyces israelii (A. Israelli).There are a very few cases of renal actinomycosis (RA) as clinical findings of genitourinary actinomycosis are usually non-specific. Here we present two cases of RA which presented with urinary tract infection and one of them was suspected to have neoplastic lesion on radiology.
