    Background:

    • Chronic mediastinitis is a complex condition requiring multidisciplinary evaluation.
    • Acute exacerbations necessitate comprehensive diagnostic approaches.

    Observation:

    • A 45-year-old male patient experienced recurrent acute exacerbations of chronic mediastinitis.
    • The patient underwent extensive examinations, including internal medicine consultations and surgical interventions, over 1.5 years.

    Findings:

    • Histological and microbiological examinations were crucial in identifying the causative agent.
    • Actinomyces Israeli was confirmed as the etiologic factor on the third diagnostic attempt.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diagnostic challenges in chronic mediastinitis.
