Abstract
Cervical lymphadenitis, defined as symptomatic enlargement and inflammation of the cervical lymph nodes, can have many causes, including infections. The condition is typically self-limited. The most common cause is an upper respiratory illness but malignancy should also be kept in mind as a rare but important cause.1 Herein, we report a 12-year-old boy who presented with cervical lymphadenitis that was diagnosed as nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by newly-developing clinical findings, but that responded well to antibiotic treatment on follow-up.
