Actinomycosis: masquerader in the head and neck.

The diagnosis of cervicofacial actinomycosis is usually not simple, but may be essential for adequate treatment. Cases seen in a Head and Neck Service illustrate some of the many guises under which actinomycosis may be concealed, and a review of recent literature confirms its propensity to be a masquerader. A combination of techniques is necessary to diagnose, and both surgical and medical approaches are needed to treat this often distressingly persistent affliction.

Coexisting benign mixed tumor and mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the parotid gland.

Multiple unilateral parotid gland tumors are very rare. A review of the literature shows only seven cases of coexisting unilateral parotid tumors. This patient had a benign mixed tumor and a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the right parotid gland. This is the eighth reported case of multiple unilateral parotid tumors and the first to show such a combination of tumors.
