Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis is a necrotizing soft tissue infection that can cause rapid local tissue destruction,
necrosis and life-threatening severe sepsis. Predisposing conditions for necrotizing fasciitis include
diabetes, malignancy, alcohol abuse, and chronic liver, kidney diseases, among other. This disorder is a
medical emergency that requires early surgical treatment and intravenous antibiotic therapy in order to
reduce the mortality rate. We present the case of a patient with a history of hepatic T lymphoma who
presented necrotizing fasciitis in the left lower limb secondary to Bacillus Cereus.
