: Actinomycosis of the tongue is an uncommon, suppurative infection of lingual mucosa, caused by actinomyces. The clinical diagnosis may present serious difficulties because of its ability to mimic other lesions, including both benign and malignant neoplasms. : Here, we describe the case of a 52-years-old patient affected by an asymptomatic, tumor-like tongue swelling, then diagnosed as actinomycosis. A review of tongue localization of actinomycosis is also reported, with emphasis on clinical findings and therapy. : Early diagnosis and treatment, with pus drainage and systemic antibiotic therapy, are pivotal to avoid severe and life-threatening complications.
舌放线菌病是一种由放线菌引起的罕见的舌黏膜化脓性感染。由于其能够模仿其他病变，包括良性和恶性肿瘤，临床诊断可能会面临严重困难。在此，我们描述了一例52岁患者的病例，该患者出现无症状的肿瘤样舌部肿胀，随后被诊断为放线菌病。本文还报告了舌放线菌病的发病部位回顾，重点介绍了临床发现和治疗方法。早期诊断和治疗，包括脓液引流和全身抗生素治疗，对于避免严重的危及生命的并发症至关重要。
