title: [Skin tumor as presentation form of lung actinomycosis].
abstract: We report three cases of thoracic actinomycosis whose symptoms were cutaneous tumors on the thorax. Clinical signs and images are described, along with diagnostic procedures. The excellent outcome after antibiotic treatment, which must last at least 6 months, is emphasized as well as the need to keep this disease in mind when certain symptoms and images coincide.
