Actinomycosis of the tongue is uncommon, but without proper treatment, it causes extensive tissue destruction. A mass that may mimic both benign and malignant neoplasms can be seen at clinical presentation and may mislead the diagnosis. Early diagnosis is critical but usually difficult with cultures or imaging. We report a patient who presented with a tumor-like deeply localized primary actinomycosis of the tongue with its magnetic resonance imaging findings.
舌放线菌病并不常见，但如果不进行适当治疗，会导致广泛的组织破坏。临床表现可见一个可能同时酷似良性和恶性肿瘤的肿块，这可能会误导诊断。早期诊断至关重要，但通常通过培养或影像学检查很难做到。我们报告一名患者，其表现为舌部类似肿瘤的深部原发性放线菌病及其磁共振成像结果。
