    Summary

    This case report details an unusual oral actinomycosis infection caused by Actinomyces israelii. Diagnosis relied on histopathology due to the bacteria

    Area of Science:

    • Oral medicine
    • Infectious diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Actinomycosis is a bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces species.
    • Actinomyces israelii are strict anaerobes, posing challenges for laboratory culture.
    • Oral actinomycosis presents with diverse clinical manifestations.

    Observation:

    • An unusual case of oral actinomycosis was observed.
    • The patient presented with an atypical clinical picture, lacking a discharging sinus tract.
    • Diagnosis was established via histopathologic examination.

    Findings:

    • Histopathologic findings confirmed actinomycosis.
    • The clinical presentation was unusual for actinomycosis.
    • It was hypothesized that the infection was superimposed on pre-existing granulomatous tissue.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of histopathology in diagnosing challenging oral infections.
    • Understanding atypical presentations of actinomycosis is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of superimposed actinomycosis may be warranted.
