- Abstract
Introduction: The cat-scratch disease is a benign inoculation disease and a well-known cause of localized lymphadenopathy. Visceral localizations are rare and occur mostly in immunocompetent patients., Case: We report the case of a 57-year-old-man with lymphadenopathy of the right arm with hepatic nodules related to a Bartonella henselae infection., Conclusion: The cat-scratch disease must be screened for in case of hepatic and/or splenic nodules. A cause of immunodeficiency should be investigated.
