Toxoplasmic Lymphadenopathy Presenting as a Palpable Axillary Mass - A Case Report

Abstract

Usually infection with Toxoplasma gondii is asymptomatic and no treatment is required. Less than 10% of the cases present with clinical symptoms such as lymphadenopathy in the head and neck region, asthenia, fever, cephalea and arthralgia. This case report illustrates an unusual case of Toxoplasmosis presenting as a palpable axillary mass in an otherwise healthy individual.
