Abstract

A non-Hodgkin's lymphoma case with actinomycosis of the tongue in a forty-three years old male patient is described in this article. The patient hospitalized because of NHL relapse and ifosphamide, methotrexate, bleomycin, prednisolone and intrathecal methotrexate were given as chemotherapy. In the course of the hospital stay, fungemia has been documented and an isolated lesion has emerged in the tongue. Wedge biopsy was performed yielding the diagnosis of actinomycosis. The case is reported from the point of its rare localization and clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, differential diagnosis and treatment. Actinomycosis should be beared in mind in immunocompromised patients with oral lesions.

Özet

Bu makalede, 43 yaşında relaps non-Hodgkin lenfoma (NHL) tanısı alan erkek hastada dil aktinomikozu tanımlanmıştır. Relaps NHL tanısı ile yatırılarak ifosfamid, metotreksat, bleomisin, prednizolondan oluşan kemoterapi ve intratekal metotreksat tedavisi başlandı. Klinik seyrinde fungemisi saptanan hastanın izleminde dilde izole lezyon gelişti ve yapılan wedge biyopsisi ile aktinomikoz tanısı kondu. Olgu nadir lokalizasyonu; klinik tablo, tanı yöntemleri, ayırıcı tanı ve tedavi yönünden tartışılmıştır, immünyetmezliği olan hastalarda oral lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında aktinomikoz düşünülmelidir.
