Localized necrotizing granulomatous lymphadenitis (GLA) is a very rare presentation of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. We are reporting a case that required multidisciplinary expertise to confirm the diagnosis and effectively treat the patient. Our patient had a recent diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and presented with hematuria and palpable inguinal lymph nodes. Affirmative diagnosis required a core biopsy of the lymph node with immunochemistry staining and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. This case reviews the unusual presentation of an HSV infection and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for infection when treating an immunocompromised patient with persistent symptoms.
