A case of granuloma inguinale (GI) presenting as a lateral neck mass in a 4-month-old, HIV-positive infant is described. The histological features of the mass were typical of GI, with numerous macrophages containing intracellular organisms with a "closed-safety-pin" appearance. This is a rare occurrence, and the mode of transmission of infection is discussed. An awareness of GI in infants by both clinicians and pathologists is important to prevent morbidity and allow for prompt institution of appropriate treatment.
本文描述了一例4个月大的HIV阳性婴儿，其腹股沟肉芽肿（GI）表现为颈部外侧肿块。肿块的组织学特征为典型的GI，有大量巨噬细胞，内含呈“闭合安全别针”外观的细胞内生物体。这是一种罕见情况，并对感染传播方式进行了讨论。临床医生和病理学家对婴儿GI有所认识，对于预防发病和及时采取适当治疗很重要。
