Since 1972, necrotizing lymphadenitis, initially described in Japan, has been called subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis and histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis without granulocytic infiltration. We report a case of a 17-year-old male patient who presented with cervical lymphadenopathy, an elevated transaminase level and persistent low grade fever in whom a liver needle biopsy and lymph node biopsy were performed. The histopathologic features of the lymph nodes showed findings consistent with subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis.
