Necrotising pneumonia (NP) is characterized by necrosis within infected lung tissue. Sometimes it is misnomered as cavitating pneumonia as it is not always complicated with cavitation. Long lasting fever and clinic detoriation of the patient can be the clues of NP. By means of cavitation, hemoptysis and negative culture; tuberculosis should be considered in differential diagnosis. False negative cultures are also problematic in treatment. In this case study, we aimed to present a case with massive hemptysis diagnosed as NP.
