Actinomycosis of Tongue: Case Report of An Atypical Presentation
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 9
Abstract
Actinomycosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of Actinomyces species. Although it most commonly occurs in the cervicofacial region, actinomycosis of tongue is quite rare. We report a patient who presented with a nodular mass on lateral border of tongue, mimicking a neoplasm, which was diagnosed as actinomycosis on histopathological examination.
