Actinomycosis is a relatively rare infection caused by saprophytic bacteria of the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract that can become pathogenic. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes mellitus induces events that promote structural changes in various tissues and are associated with problems in wound healing. This infection remains largely unknown to most clinicians because of its different presentations, and palatal involvement is extremely rare. This report describes the case of a 46-year-old woman who was diagnosed with actinomycosis involving the hard palate. The main clinical, histopathologic, and therapeutic characteristics and differential diagnosis of actinomycosis are reviewed. To date, 3 cases of actinomycosis involving the hard palate have been reported.
放线菌病是一种相对罕见的感染性疾病，由口腔和胃肠道的腐生细菌引起，这些细菌可致病。糖尿病的慢性高血糖会引发一些事件，促进各种组织的结构变化，并与伤口愈合问题相关。由于其表现各异，大多数临床医生对这种感染知之甚少，而腭部受累极为罕见。本报告描述了一例46岁女性被诊断为硬腭放线菌病的病例。文中回顾了放线菌病的主要临床、组织病理学和治疗特征以及鉴别诊断。迄今为止，已报道3例硬腭放线菌病病例。
