chronic liver disease, celiac disease, mastocytosis, and AIDS, and as an increased immune response in intravenous drug users [3]. Lymphadenopathy occurs as benign hyperplasia and proliferation in response to infection and/or antigenic stimulation. The features of lymph nodes on ultrasound or CT scan, such as size, number, or distribution, are important in the evaluation of abdominal lymphadenopathy. Larger, numerous, rounded nodes; presence of mass effect; and absence of echogenic hilum favor malignant diseases [4–6]. However, in contrast to these reports, certain studies show that lymph node characteristics are of no diagnostic value [2]. To our knowledge, herein we have described the first case of significant abdominal lymphadenopathy in association with malaria and its regression after treatment.
