Traumatic Haemorrhagic Cervical Lymphadenopathy with Underlying Infectious Mononucleosis
1Department of Radiology, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.
Abstract:
A 16-year-old male presented to the Emergency Department with a painful 3 × 3 cm left-sided neck swelling six hours following blunt trauma to the neck from a heavy swinging door.

This case report describes a rare case of traumatic haemorrhagic cervical lymphadenopathy with an underlying diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis.
