A case of actinomycosis originating in the parotid gland is reported. A 66-year-old woman had complained of a hard mass in the right parotid area. Sialography and CT scan showed a tumor-like lesion in the right parotid gland. The patient was treated with subtotal parotidectomy and penicillin administration. Histological examination showed typical actinomycosis. In this case, infections may be caused by actinomyces carried through Stenon's duct.
