[Thyroid actinomycosis (actinobacteriosis)].

An extremely rare case (the 15th case reported in the literature, according to our knowledge) of the infection with Actinomyces Israeli localized at the level of thyroid gland is presented. Although the clinical and imaging data, the fine needle aspiration biopsy, and the intraoperative aspect clearly suggested the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, the microscopic examination surprisingly identified "sulfur granules", specific to actinomycosis, so that treatment and prognosis were reconsidered.
