Actinomycosis is a systemic chronic bacterial infection caused by Actinomyces israelii, an anaerobic organism normally resident in the human mouth. It can involve any organ, but cervicofacial disease is the most common. Laryngeal involvement is rare and usually occurs secondary to the oral, cervical or mandibular disease. There are only a few cases of primary laryngeal actinomycosis (LA) in the literature. Actinomycosis can also be a complication of head and neck surgery. Here we present two cases of LA accompanying laryngeal carcinoma and discuss in the literature about this event.
放线菌病是一种由以色列放线菌引起的全身性慢性细菌感染，以色列放线菌是一种通常寄居于人口腔中的厌氧菌。它可累及任何器官，但头颈部疾病最为常见。喉部受累罕见，通常继发于口腔、颈部或下颌疾病。文献中仅有少数原发性喉放线菌病（LA）病例。放线菌病也可能是头颈外科手术的并发症。在此，我们报告两例伴发喉癌的LA病例，并对该情况进行文献讨论。
