Toxoplasma gondii ( T. gondii ) reactivation is one of the fatal complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation ( HSCT ); however, re‐infection has not been reported. Here, we report a case of mycosis fungoides in which cervical lymphadenopathy developed after HSCT . Initially, recurrent lymphoma was suspected. However, biopsy of the lymph node showed typical histology of toxoplasmosis and serology showed re‐infection of T. gondii . Toxoplasmosis needs to be differentiated for cases with lymphoadenopthy after HSCT .
