title: [Presence of intra- and peri-lymph node color Doppler signals in a case of suppurative granulomatous axillary adenitis].
abstract: Recent reports have emphasized that colour Doppler signals in axillary lymph nodes denote their metastatic nature. We report a case of axillary adenitis due to cat scratch disease in which there were both intra and peri-lymph node signals. Doppler colour signals can thus distinguish other pathologies of the axillary lymph nodes since metastatic nodes do not produce perifocal signals.
