✅Nocardia
Thin, beaded, branching filamentous structures with peripheral clubbing
Gram+, GMS+, weak acid-fast+, PAS-, Aerobic
Filaments thinner (0.5-1μm) than Actinomyces, wide-angled, and non-septate
Intense neutrophilic response

DDX Nocardia can have a similar appearance on gram stain, it usually infects immunocompromised hosts; moreover, Nocardia is modified AFB positive whereas #Actinomyces is not.

Differential diagnosis of lymphocutaneous spread:
Nocardiosis N.brasiliensis, sporotrichiosis, cutaneous leishmania, MTB, NTM (marinum, chelonae, kansasii, fortuitum.
Less likely ddx: leprosy, cowpox, Staph aureus, strep pyrogens, tularemia, scedosporium, fusarium
