Actinomycosis is a relatively uncommon infectious process involving the chest. A case of thoracic actinomycosis mimicking an inflammatory breast carcinoma in an elderly woman is presented with a review of the literature. The authors suggest that considering this disease in the differential diagnosis of indolent pulmonary parenchymal and pleural lesions is essential if appropriate diagnostic tests are to be obtained and proper therapy initiated, thus avoiding unnecessary invasive procedures.
放线菌病是一种累及胸部的相对罕见的感染性疾病。本文报告了一例老年女性患者，其胸部放线菌病表现类似炎性乳腺癌，并对相关文献进行了综述。作者认为，在对惰性肺实质和胸膜病变进行鉴别诊断时考虑此病至关重要，这样才能进行适当的诊断检查并启动恰当治疗，从而避免不必要的侵入性操作。
