[A boy with a swelling under his right jaw].
A 12-year-old boy presented with a painful swelling under his right jaw. Cat scratch disease was confirmed serologically. Two months later the swelling had increased in size and had become red. There was obvious fluctuation, which indicated abscess formation. After incision and drainage of the abscess, the swelling resolved within two weeks.
