Tularemia is a disease caused by a Gram-negative coccobacillus Francisella tularensis. The major clinical forms are ulceroglandular, glandular, oculoglandular, oropharyngeal, typhoidal, and pneumonic tularemia. Francisella tularensis, causes suppurative granulomatosus lymphadenitis. In this study, we wanted to report a case of oropharyngeal tularemia, which can be misdiagnosed as malignity, in a patient who presented with suppurative ganulomatous lymphadenitis.
