    Abstract:
    A patient presented with isolated, soft to firm, inguinal swelling since childhood clinically thought to be a benign lipomatous lesion. Fine-needle aspiration of the swelling revealed amastigote form of Leishmania donovani in a background of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia. Excision of the swelling resulted in reversal of positive Aldehyde test. Isolated leishmanial lymphadenopathy in an immunocompetent person, is a rare manifestation of leishmaniasis in India. The possible role of transplacental transmission is discussed.
