Abstract
An 8-year-old boy with subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis (SNL), a disorder initially described in Japan, is presented. This entity is usually said to have such representative clinical symptoms as lever-up, swelling of lymph nodes, and leukocytopenia. The disease is a non specific inflammation, although it has necrotized lymph nodes, like malignant neoplasm on one side but a specific inflammation from the histopathological point of view on the other side. And this lesion exists mainly in the cervical lymph node.At the same time, we review the japana Centra Revuo Medicina (1984-1988) to pick up all the case reports of this entity, in order to clarify the clinical findings of this lesion.
