Abstract :
Actinomycosis is a chronic disease characterized by abscess formation, tissue fibrosis, and draining sinuses. While cervical and thoracic localizations are most frequent, digestive actinomycosis is rare. To the best of our knowledge, actinomycosis-related esophageal involvement has not been reported previously in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. Therefore, we wanted to report this esophageal actinomycosis case presenting with odinophagia and dysphasia.
