Abstract

A nine-years old male patient applied to our clinic complaining of an axillary mass that had been noticed three weeks earlier. On physical examination, 'the only pathological finding was that of a tender, mobile lymphadeopathy three centimeters in diameter located in the left axillary region. Laboratory examination was normal, and an excisional biopsy was performed. The histopathological findings were found to be com-patible with cat scratch disease. Doxycycline therapy was initiated, and the patient was followed up. We report this case in order to recall the importance of considering cat scratch disease in the diagnosis of lymphadenopa-thy in children.

Özet

Dokuz yaşında erkek hasta, üç hafta önce fark edilen koltuk altında kitle yakınmasıyla başvurdu. Hastanın fizik incelemesinde sol aksillasında 3x3 cm büyüklüğünde, hassas, hareketli bir lenfadenopati saptandı. Bu bulgu dışında patolojik bulgusu yoktu. Hastanın laboratuar incelemeleri normal olarak değerlendirildi. Lenf bezinin eksizyonel bi-yopsisi yapıldı. Histopatolojik bulgular kedi tırmığı hastalığı ile uyumlu bulundu. Doksisiklin tedavisi uygulandı ve hasta izleme alındı. Bu olgu çocuklarda lenfadenopati ayırıcı tanısında kedi tırmığı hastalığının da düşünülmesi gerektiğine dikkat çekilmesi amacıyla sunulmuştur.
