Actinomyces colonization in keratocystic odontogenic tumor: a case report.

Actinomycosis is an anaerobic infection that involves the craniofacial region and its colonization has rarely been reported in the developmental odontogenic cysts. In the present report, a case of odontogenic keratocyst (which is now called keratocystic odontogenic tumor) with the colonization of actinomyces is introduced and its significance is discussed.
