ABSTRACT
Actinomycosis is a chronic rare disease, caused by Actinomyces species.
It has a broad spectrum of clinical presentations mimicking malignancy, tuberculosis and nocardiosis. Therefore the physician should have a high index of suspiscion.
The most common presentation of actinomycosis is the cervicofacial form.
Here we describe the first case of lumpy jaw syndrome to be reported in Saudi Arabia.
