During the last 4 years the authors observed 3 actinomycotic cases with abdominal localization. The disease was found in all the three cases to be localized to those parts of the intestinal tract where stasis of fecal contents may occur, i. e. to the appendix, to Meckel's diverticle and to the left colonic flexure. The relatively rare incidence and preoperative diagnostic difficulties make publication of these cases worthwhile. Based on own experience and literary data they describe natural history, clinical picture, histology and treatment of the disease, respectively.
