  • Title: Actinomycosis of the tongue: a diagnostic dilemma.
    Author: Atespare A, Keskin G, Erçin C, Keskin S, Camcioglu A.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2006 Aug; 120(8):681-3. PubMed ID: 16716241.
    Abstract:
    Actinomycotic infections of the cervicofacial region are not uncommon. However, actinomycosis of the tongue is rare. A mass that may mimic both benign and malignant neoplasms can be seen at clinical presentation and may mislead the diagnosis. We report a patient who presented with a tumour-like tongue mass causing speech disturbance, diagnosed as actinomycosis.
