Description

<p>A 54-year-old woman with no underlying disease presented with a subcutaneous mass in the neck after dental therapy. She was treated for inflammation of the submandibular gland, and the symptoms became less severe. However, thereafter, her symptoms exacerbated. She visited our department 9 months after symptom onset. She had a red mass on the neck. We made an incision in the mass and found green granules sized 1-2 mm in the pus. We established a diagnosis of actinomycosis in the neck based on the histopathological examination. We performed treatment with antibiotics, incision, and resection.</p>
