AbstractWe report a case of cervicofacial actinomycosis with paravertebral extension in a 60-year-old man who presented with recurrent neck masses. Diagnosis was confirmed on culture and histology of pus and debris obtained from surgical drainage. He improved only after lengthy in-hospital high dose penicillin therapy. He is currently well and is on maintenance doxycycline therapy for 6 months following the high dose penicillin therapy.
