title: Cat scratch disease: report of case and discussion.
abstract: A case of cat scratch disease with a submental mass as the initial symptom has been presented. The disease should be considered in the evaluation of swellings and masses of the cervicofacial region. However, because of the benign course of cat scratch disease, other more serious disease processes must be ruled out before establishing the diagnosis of cat scratch disease.
