Actinomycosis is a festering bacterial infection frequently affecting the cervicofacial area, for which the germs responsible are Gram-positive bacilli of Actinomyces sp. We present a case of atypical presentation of actinomycosis, in the shape of repetitive mass in the tonsillar fossa with complex therapeutic management.
