Abstract
Actinomycosis, a chronic suppurative bacterial infection characterized by draining sinuses that discharge "sulfur granules," can mimic numerous other infectious and noninfectious conditions. We describe a 33-year-old woman with cervicofacial actinomycosis, which, on initial evaluation, was clinically and histologically diagnosed as a ruptured cyst.
