A non-Hodgkin’s Iymphoma 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.
