title: A right lower abdominal mass due to Yersinia mesenteric lymphadenitis.
abstract: We report the case of a 14-year-old female with Yersinia mesenteric lymphadenitis presenting as a right lower abdominal mass. Although such cases are very rare, Yersinia infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a right lower abdominal mass.
