	Abstract

Cat scratch disease is a relatively common bacterial infection caused by contact with infected feline saliva. This case demonstrates an unusual presentation of adenopathy involving the superficial subcutaneous tissue of the upper extremity. Because of the location, adenopathy was not the primary consideration. The ultimate cause was identified as cat scratch disease caused by the Bartonella henselae organism in a chronically ill woman.
