The cervicofacial region is most commonly affected; thoracic and abdominal forms of the disease have also been distinguished. Actinomycosis is sometimes difficult to diagnose and it should be borne in mind in the differential diagnosis of numerous infectious and non-infectious diseases. We describe two patients with cervicofacial actinomycosis which on initial examination were diagnosed as "submandibular phlegmona"TEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZdruženje slovenskih dermatovenerologov
