Abstract
In this Note we describe a patient with an actinomycotic chest wall mass from which large numbers of Wolinella recta and Actinomyces viscosus organisms were isolated. This is the first reported association of W. recta with extraoral infection and the tenth report of lung infection by A. viscosus.
