Abstract
We are describing a peculiar case of multiple deep neck abscesses developed in a young 25 years old lady, who is a case of newly diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) post completion of Daunorubicin chemotherapy regime. The subject had initial bilateral neck swelling which worsened, whereby serial follow up radiological investigation demonstrated multiple deep neck collections. Abscesses were drained surgically, particularly one which is located in the nasopharynx is visually described. The main bulk of this article is dedicated to explore and link various factors which may contribute to the transformation of tumorous lymph nodes into full blown abscesses.
Keywords: Deep neck abscess is a condition whereby pus is accumulated in potential spaces
