Introduction and objectives: Actinomycosis is an indolent, slowly progressive infection caused by anaerobic or microaerophilic bacteria, primar¬ily of a genus Actinomyces that colonize the mouth, colon and vagina. Mucosal disruption may lead to infection at virtually any site in the body. The aim of this study was to underline different features of actinomycosis and to represent total data about etiologic agents, clinical, diagnostic and therapeu¬tic approach these infections. 
Materials and Methods: From 1972 to 2012, the data obtained from all of case reports studies re¬lated to actinomycosis cases in Iran were analyzed. Diagnosis was performed based on microscopic ex-aminations and cultures of specimens on specific media obtained from the patients. 
Results: Ninety one cases with actinomycosis (56 males, 35 females) were identified during this study. Findings represented, 21 cases of oral-servicofacial (23.1%), 7 cases of thoracic (7.7%), 17 cases of abdominal (18.7%), 21 cases of dis¬seminated forms (23.1%) and 25 cases of others (27.5%). Most patients were successfully treated with peni¬cillin although some cases needed surgery along with antibiotic therapy. 
Conclusion: Since some clinical features of actino¬mycosis are mimic lesions with malignant appear-ance, the differential diagnosis of invasive forms must be included. Therefore, this report empha¬sizes the importance of differential diagnosis of actinomycosis from similar diseases by clinicians.
