Abstract

granulomatous disease caused by Actinomyces species. It results in the formation of draining sinuses through which sulphur granules are discharged [1]. The five clinical variants of Actinomycosis include cervicofacial (60%), thoracic (20%), abdominal (15%), primary cutaneous and pelvic [2-4]. The primary cutaneous type results from implantation [4]. We report a case of primary cutaneous Actinomycosis who acquired the infection probably as a result of using syringes infected with Actinomyces sp.
