Primary nocardiosis of the lymph node is a rare presentation even in an immunocompromised individual, with few case reports in the literature. In addition, Nocardia farcinica as observed in our case, is rarely documented, making it an interesting report. This paper clearly illustrates the subtle morphological clues that can be used to diagnose nocardial infection.
