    Abstract:
    Visceral involvement in absence of lymphadenopathy is a rare manifestation in cat scratch disease; hepatic granulomas are rare, representing 0.3% of systemic manifestations of cat scratch disease, and gallbladder extension is a singular case. The present article refers to 2 rare cases of visceral cat scratch disease in immunocompetent adults with hepatic granulomatous inflammation, caused by Bartonella henselae infection, with gallbladder involvement in 1 case and no lymphadenopathy. Histological features demonstrated the presence of inflammatory necrotizing granulomatous nonneoplastic process. Molecular studies (polymerase chain reaction) were performed to confirm the infectious etiology.
