ABSTRACT
Actinomycosis is a rare form of disease caused by Actinomyces such as A. israelii and A. bovis, which may take the form of an acute or a subacute disease progression. Clinically, it is categorized into cervicofacial, thoraxic, abdomen, pelvis, and systemic infections, of which cervicofacial infection accounts for 50%. It presents as a challenging clinical diagnostic dilemma because of variable presentations in the head and neck. Actinomycosis of the hypopharynx is rare. We report a case of actinomycosis in the posterior hypopharyngeal wall presenting as a dysphagia in a 72-year-old woman with a review of the literature.
