Systemic cat scratch disease: hepatic and splenic involvement about 3 pediatric cases

O Destuynder et al. Eur J Pediatr Surg. 1995 Dec.

Abstract

Numerous diseases can lead to multinodular lesions of liver and spleen; surgical biopsy can be required for the etiologic diagnosis. Among these diseases, systemic cat scratch disease has been recently described. Macroscopical appearance of the lesions is evocative and must be known by surgeons. Three children with systemic cat scratch disease involving liver and spleen are reported.
