An unusual case of cervicofacial actinomycosis in a 60-year old male Nigerian is reported. The patient had had partial mandibular resection for plexiform ameloblastoma one year earlier with insertion of Kirschner wire to serve as a splint. The authors highlight the possible pathophysiology of this condition. It is suggested that clinicians be aware of the various modes of presentation and natural history of the disease to facilitate prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This will assist in forestalling the numerous complications that may result from actinomycosis.
报道了一名60岁尼日利亚男性患者的罕见颈面部放线菌病病例。该患者一年前因丛状成釉细胞瘤接受了下颌骨部分切除术，并插入克氏针作为夹板。作者强调了这种疾病可能的病理生理学。建议临床医生了解该疾病的各种表现形式和自然病程，以便及时诊断和进行适当治疗。这将有助于预防放线菌病可能导致的众多并发症。
