Five cases of actinomycosis of the main bronchi or trachea which were suggestive clinically of bronchogenic carcinoma are described. In four patients the correct diagnosis was made by a bronchial biopsy or wash, or both. Three of them recovered following antibiotic treatment, and one died a few days after bronchoscopy. In one case the Actinomyces were found in the bronchial wash retrospectively following diagnosis of pulmonary actinomycosis in the lobectomy specimen. A concomitant endobronchial lipoma was found in one of the patients. The diagnosis of pulmonary actinomycosis by bronchial biopsy may save the patient major surgical intervention.
