A Ctinomycosis in a Patient with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus: Report of a Case

Esophageal actinomycosis is very rare and only 14 cases have been reported in the English literature. We report one case of actinomycosis in a patient associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. Both the esophageal cancer and the actinomycosis are assumed to be related to his heavy alcohol consumption for decades.
