Thoracic actinomycosis is uncommon, indolent, and often not considered in children with chest wall masses, pneumonia, or empyema. We present a 27-month-old girl without risk factors for thoracic actinomycosis whose initial diagnosis was malignancy. She recovered completely after lobectomy, debridement, and antimicrobial therapy. Literature review since 1975 identified 54 additional cases; most were male, older, and had underlying risk factors.
胸段放线菌病并不常见,病程进展缓慢,对于患有胸壁肿块、肺炎或脓胸的儿童,往往不会考虑到这种疾病。我们报告了一名27个月大的女童,她没有胸段放线菌病的危险因素,最初被诊断为恶性肿瘤。在接受肺叶切除术、清创术和抗菌治疗后,她完全康复。对1975年以来的文献回顾发现了另外54例病例;大多数患者为男性,年龄较大,且有潜在危险因素。
