Scand J Infect Dis. 1998;30(5):519-20. doi: 10.1080/00365549850161566.

Abstract

A case of cervicofacial and pulmonary actinomycosis associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is reported. The patient underwent antimicrobial treatment and surgical debridement of a palatine lesion. Complete clinical recovery was achieved. The presence of actinomycosis may obscure and delay the diagnosis of NHL.
