A  number  of  gram  positive,  non  spore  forming  bacteria  from  the  genus  Actinomyces  are  the  etiologic  agents.1-3  It  is  encountered  worldwide  in  three  main  clinical  forms:  cervicofacial,  thoracic,  and  abdominal.1  Metastatic  lesions  to  other  sites  are  also  reported.  With  appropriate  therapy,  most  patients  with  cervicofacial  or  abdominal  infection  recover  completely.
