Actinomycosis of the jaws is an underdiagnosed disease, which has a large clinical polymorphism that can affect all organs. This bacterial condition is very variable, making its clinical diagnosis difficult. The histo-pathological examination remains the key to diagnosis due to the difficulties of bacteriological examination. Treatment is surgical debridement and prolonged antibiotic therapy. our study highlights the case of a patient treated at the MOHAMMED VI Department of Maxillofacial Surgery in Marrakech, followed for a period of 2 years between 2022 and 2024. Objective of this study is to report the possibility of occurrence of this pathology in an immunocompetent subject and the good clinical and radiological evolution under medical treatment alone.
