Abstract
Actinomycosis is a rare endogenous infection and its manifestation in the extremities is even less reported in literature. In fact, it mostly involves cervical-facial area, and then come thoracic and abdominal locations. We report an uncommon case of actinomycosis of the hand in a 57-year-old woman. Its primary form makes it even more unusual. Pathological examination led us to the diagnosis, and the patient has received a surgical treatment associated with antibiotic therapy with good evolution.
