Abstract:

We report a clinical case of cerebral actinomycotic granuloma that was preoperatively diagnosed as an intracerebral tumor. On the basis of a histological examination performed after lesion resection, the diagnosis of a cerebral actinomycotic granuloma was made. The article presents long-term outcomes of the surgery. The literature data on cases of various forms of cerebral actinomycosis are provided.
