Conclusion:
Nasal and paranasal actinomycosis is a rare bacterial disease mimicking fungal and neoplastic pathologies. Its diagnosis is microbiological and/ or histologic. Endoscopic surgery, combined with antibiotics, allows the infection to be cured.
However, more studies are needed to standardize the root as well as the minimum required duration of antibiotic therapy.
