[Presentation of a case of cervical actinomycosis versus Hodgkin lymphoma].
Actinomycosis is an unfrequent bacterian infection, that affects 50% of the cases in the cervical facial region. The evolution and clinical, anatomopathologic radiologic characteristic, and its presentation bring us to suspect another type of more frequent pathology: the neoplastic, that make very difficult its diagnosis. We present the case of a young patient affected by a cervical tumoration initially oriented as Hodgkin lymphoma that finally was diagnosed as cervical actinomycosis and treated with penicillin.
