RESUMO
Primary actinomycosis of the breast is an uncommon disorder, however, it must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of chronic breast abscess and malignancy, especially in intractable breast abscess. We report a case of a 28-year-old woman presented with palpable nontender mass in the left breast who was diagnosed by tissue biopsy as primary actinomycosis. The patient was successfully treated with intravenous ceftriaxone for 3 weeks, followed by oral ampicillin for 3 months.
