Actinomycosis in palatine tonsil mimicking a tonsillolith: A case report

 Actinomycosis of the jaw is a well known infection characterized by a paramandibular draining sinus tract, trismus, and characteristic woody type of fibrosis. Various features of actinomycotic infections have been reported in the head and neck areas.
