Abstract

Cervicofacial actinomycosis is an uncommon disease caused by Actinomycosis israelii. Chronic ‘sialadenitis’ of parotid gland is an insidious inflammatory disorder and may form a fibrous mass. We report a case of 55 years old female presenting with mass in right parotid region-on imaging-malignant neoplasm of parotid gland. But on histopathology-actinomycosis and chronic parotid sialadenitis.
