Rapid diagnosis of actinomycosis by thin-needle aspiration biopsy

American Journal of Clinical Pathology
P G PollockC S Beavert

Abstract

Actinomycosis was diagnosed in three cases by the use of thin-needle aspiration biopsy technic. Aspiration was utilized for morphologic studies and collection of material for microbiologic isolation. The critical histologic features of sulfur granules remain intact with aspiration technic. Thin-needle aspiration biopsy is a safe, simple, and rapid technic employed in the diagnosis of neoplastic disease. The use of this technic in the diagnosis of actinomycosis is demonstrated in this report.

Actinomycosis is a rare, chronic, and slowly progressive granulomatous disease caused by filamentous Gram positive anaerobic bacteria from the Actinomycetaceae family (genus Actinomyces). The disease is characterised by the formation of painful abscesses in the mouth, lungs,breast or gastrointestinal tract. Discover the latest research on actinomycosis here.
