    Oculoglandular cat-scratch disease can mimic malignant neoplasms, presenting with eyelid swelling and enlarged glands. Prompt recognition prevents misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatments for this nonmalignant condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Malignant disorders can present with complex symptoms, including localized swelling and enlarged lymph nodes.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid inappropriate and potentially harmful treatments.

    Observation:

    • A pediatric case presented with lower eyelid induration, swelling, discoloration, temporal mass, preauricular adenopathy, and parotid gland enlargement.
    • Initial biopsy suggested a malignant histiocytic disorder.

    Findings:

    • The patient's lesions resolved spontaneously without any therapeutic intervention.
    • Subsequent investigations confirmed the diagnosis of oculoglandular cat-scratch disease.

    Implications:

  • Cat-scratch disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric patients presenting with symptoms mimicking malignancy.
  • Recognizing this nonmalignant condition prevents diagnostic errors, unnecessary procedures, and hazardous therapies.
