ABSTRACT
Nasopharyngeal actinomycosis is a rare clinical disease. To our knowledge, only a few other cases of nasopharyngeal actinomycosis have been reported previously, following a nasal trauma or surgical manipulation. We report a case of actinomycosis presenting nasopharyngeal mass without prior mucosal trauma. Our patient had endonasal endoscopic excision of the infected tissue and was treated with 4 weeks of oral antibiotics therapy without any evidence of recurrence. We recommend including actinomycosis in the differential diagnosis of a nasopharyngeal mass.
