ABSTRACT
In this article, the case of a 32-year-old man with a paravertebral actinomycosis is discussed. Initially, the diagnosis was not obvious but it was confirmed later with the repetitive radiologic procedures, the elimination of other etiologies [purulent, mycobacterial or mycotic infections and neoplasia] and the biopsy Treatment with penicillin initially and then with tetracycline for a long term led to a very good outcome at a 3-year follow-up with a radiologic remission. Following the discussion of the case, a review of the literature concerning the paravertebral actinomycosis, its diagnostic clues and treatment is undertaken
