Abstract
A 2-year-old girl with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis septicemia had a large abdominal mass that had to be differentiated from malignant tumor. The mass disappeared rapidly with antibiotic therapy and was defined to be a cluster of enlarged ileocecal lymph nodes by the clinical course and the findings at ultrasonic examination and Gallium scintigraphy.Keywords
