abstract: A case of cervicofacial actinomycosis, sited in the central hyoid region, is reported. The Authors have emphasized the difficulties of the diagnosis. It's very important hat the clinical diagnosis of actinomycotic infection be confirmed by a positive culture test. Actinomycosis can be suspected if multiple recurrent pustular swellings are present, associated with any trauma or teeth extractions.
