Lymphogranuloma venereum is a disease with a significant increase in prevalence in Spain in recent years, so it must be taken into account in the screening of sexually transmitted diseases. In this case, a patient with the presence of a unilateral inguinal adenopathy that denied risky sexual relations is shown. After the histological study of the adenopathy, which shows granulomatosis, and discarding tuberculosis, among other entities, Chlamydia trachomatis serology was requested, being positive, with a good clinical and serological response to the treatment.
