Actinomyces is a chronic suppurative infection caused by Gram positive anaerobic bacteria which grows hardly in bacterial culture. It is commonly isolated from cervicofacial, respiratory, and gastrointestinal system. Its exact pathogenesis is still unknown. Actinomyces located in the cervicofacial region is frequently accompanied by maxillofacial trauma and dental procedures. Herein, we report a 45-year-old female case of actinomyces in tongue which was treated with antibiotherapy and good oral hygiene.
