title: Cerebral actinomycotic granuloma.
abstract: A rare case of primary cerebral actinomycosis is presented. Pathologically the most important finding is represented by two types of lesions occurring in the same granulomatous mass without abscess formation. The possibility of an associated infection by actinomyces israelii and actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans or lignieresi is discussed.
