Abstract

It was presented a case of actinomycosis in a three years old female equine presenting a tumoral formation in the submaxilary lymphatic glands. At the first, the process was confused with equine adenitis. After surgical remotion of the tumor a relapse occurred and after 6 months it reached approximately 10 cm size. Diagnosis was established after biopsy of lesion, histopathological examination followed by cultivation of the material, confirming a case of actinomycosis.
