Abstract
Actinomycosis is a very rare disease caused by Actinomyces israelii, a saprophytic bacterium of the oropharynx and genital tract of women. Its diagnosis is made difficult by the lack of clinical and radiological specificity. We report three cases of patients with actinomycosis of various locations, but with similar management. These cases recall the radio-clinical and therapeutic aspects of this rare infection. They underline the necessity of a microbiological diagnosis for any surgical specimen and the major importance of the histological study in the diagnosis of this condition.
