Abstract

Cervical lymphadenopathy is commonly seen in otorhinolaryngologyclinic for various etiologies. Toxoplasmosis is one of the rare cause of cervical lymphadenopathy. We reported a case of young immunocompetent woman who presented with right cervical lymphadenopathy in which we suspect lymphoma, however histopathological examination showed micro granuloma and Toxoplasma serology was positive.
