Abstract
Hepatosplenic involvement in cat-scratch disease, probably underdiagnosed, is characterized by multinodular lesions throughout the liver and spleen. Radiologic features of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are not specific. The key of the diagnosis relies on a history of cat or kitten contact. A specific serological test can confirm the diagnosis without invasive procedures such as biopsy.
