Abstract:
Actinomycotic infections of the cervicofacial area are rare and frequently show a confusing clinical picture. We report a case of actinomycosis that mimicked a neoplasm of the tongue. The clinical and pathologic features and the differential diagnosis of this unusual oral infection are discussed.
