AbstractCervicofacial actinomycosis is an uncommon, chronic, suppurative, and granulomatous bacterial infection. It is often of dental origin and tends to mimic other dental infections, granulomatous disorders, and cancers. The initial diagnostic workup, predicated upon imaging and tissue biopsies, is frequently nonspecific.

- Although rare, a high level of clinical suspicion is needed to diagnose and cure actinomycosis in patients with indolent, unresolving, or relapsing chronic inflammatory disease. - Actinomyces are commensals that become pathogenic when the mucosa is breached, and co-infection with other organisms is common. - Disease is defined by anatomical location;

Abdominal Radiology, 1993
We report a case of abdominal actinomycosis demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) as an isolated mesenteric mass with radiating linear and nodular densities. The lesion mimicked a mesenteric tumor with desmoplastic reaction. The clinical and radiological features of this uncommon entity are reviewed.

Chest, 1975
A patient with multiple subcutaneous abscesses was found to have disseminated actinomycosis. No predisposing cause was identified. No defects in immunity were found. His disease responded promptly to penicillin therapy.

Chest, 1993
Actinomycotic infection is uncommon and primary actinomycosis of the lung and chest wall has been less frequently reported. This disease may present as chronic debilitating illness with radiographic manifestation simulating lung tumor, pulmonary infiltrating lesion, or chronic suppuration.

We reviewed the reported experience with actinomycosis otomastoiditis in the international literature, along with a recent case from our experience. All recently reported cases presented with persistent drainage and partial response to multiple courses of antibiotics. Diagnosis was uniformly made postoperatively, and the outcome was excellent following

Two cases of actinomycotic lesions of the periapical tissue in relation to the molars are described. The difficulty in obtaining a positive culture for actinomycetes in spite of definite histologic evidence of actinomycosis is highlighted. Besides antibiotics, the importance of planned treatment to deal with the underlying diseased periapical tissue ...

BMJ Case Reports
A man in his 50s, with a history of night sweats and weight loss, presented acutely with dyspnoea and chest pain. Imaging revealed right middle lobe consolidation and a large pericardial effusion. The diagnosis of actinomycosis was made using endobronchial ultrasound-guided sampling from the pericardial effusion.

A 44-year-old man had an abscess involving the left psoas muscle and inferior pole of the left kidney associated with characteristic sulfur granules of actinomycosis. The patient was treated with surgical drainage and debridement and with intensive and prolonged penicillin therapy, resulting in a clinical cure and resolution of both the hydronephrosis ...
