Actinomycosis of faucial tonsil masquerading as oropharyngeal malignancy.

Sanjeev Mohanty1.   

Abstract

Actinomycosis is a rare inflammatory disease caused by anaerobic gram negative bacterium of actinomyces species. Lesions in the head and neck are characterized by their varied presentation and their propensity to mimic other diseases.([1]) Here we present a rare case report of actinomycosis of tonsil in an elderly man masquerading as tumour of oropharynx.
