ABSTRACT
Toxoplasma gondii, a coccidian protozoon, infects various animal species and humans. Toxoplasma lymphadenitis is the most common clinical manifestation of toxoplasmosis in an immunocompetent host, but still more rare in Korea than in other countries. We report two cases of toxoplasma lymphadenitis in intraparotid lymph node in an immunocompetent host. Serological results supported a diagnosis of toxoplasmosis correlated with histological findings. In Korea, travels to and from other countries and consumption of meat are increasing, possibly increasing the incidence of toxoplasma lymphadenitis. This report emphasizes the need for clinicians to consider the diagnosis of unexplained lymphadenitis at all sites.
