She presented decrease in food intake with loss of approximately 20 kg of weight. She has already received several treatment schemes, including antimicrobials, without improvement. Culture secretion samples: negative. Tomography of the facial massif showed osteolytic lesions and fracture of the lower jaw. The biopsy shows nonspecific chronic inflammation and the presence of Actinomyces sp. Osteomedullary biopsy: probable spinal toxic effect. She received prolonged treatment with antimicrobial, improving. Currently she is in reconstruction plans of the lower jaw.]]></p></abstract>
