Actinomycosis is an infrequent chronic infectious disease. In most cases the diagnosis is made post-operatively because of its unusual clinic presentation. We report three cases of actinomycosis involving large bowel. Based on current literature we review the diagnosis and therapeutic considerations. These should be helpful to the surgeons confronting the rare disease.
