AB Actinomycosis  is  uncommon,  and  most  physicians’  personal  experience  with  its  clinical  presentations  is  limited.  Laboratory  identification  of  the  etiologic  agents  from  the  order  Actinomycetales  is  not  routine.  Thus  actinomycosis  remains  a  diagnostic  challenge,  even  for  a  skilled  clinician.  However,  this  infection  is  usually  curable  with  medical  therapy  alone.  Therefore,  an  awareness  of  the  full  spectrum  of  clinical  syndromes  can  expedite  diagnosis  and  treatment  and  minimize  unnecessary  surgical  interventions,  morbidity,  and  mortality.
