[Cervicofacial actinomycosis. Report of a case].

Abstract

Actinomycosis is a relatively rare chronic granulomatous infection, which is characterized by the formation of abscesses which tend to form fistulas. Anatomically is classified according to the location of the lesions in cervicofacial, pulmonary and abdominal form. We present a case of cervicofacial actinomycosis and its treatment, emphasizing on the difficulty of the diagnosis of the lesion.
