摘要
Subcutaneous actinomycosis of the neck is uncommon. Since its presentation is vague and nonspecific, the diagnosis is difficult. Being rare, the diagnosis needs a high index of suspicion. An unusual case of actinomycosis presented as abscess in the neck is discussed here along with review of literature.
