  • Title: Actinomycosis of the larynx.
    Author: Sari M, Yazici M, Bağlam T, Inanli S, Eren F.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol; 2007 May; 127(5):550-2. PubMed ID: 17453484.
    Abstract:
    Actinomycosis is a rare chronic granulomatous disease that involves the upper airway and gastrointestinal tract. Approximately 40-55% of actinomycosis comprises the cervicofacial form. It presents a challenging clinical diagnostic dilemma because of variable presentations in the head and neck. Herein, we report a rare case of actinomycosis presenting as a vocal cord nodule in a healthy 21-year-old man who was not immunocompromised and had no other known medical disease.
