Necrotic Lymph Node: Necrosis can be associated with malignancy in certain settings. Another possible cause of necrosis is an atypical infectious process -- something that was given the name bubo in the past for its very specific appearance. A rare association with necrosis w eb virus infection (that and CMV cause mononucleosis) has been reported. I recommend follow up with your physician to address these questions.
