Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Immunology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is characterized as necrotizing, self-limiting lymphadenitis, typically affecting cervical lymph nodes and presenting with fever.
  • Accurate differentiation of KFD from other conditions like malignant lymphoma is critical for appropriate patient management.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of KFD in a 28-year-old male.
  • Radiographic imaging suggested a submandibular salivary gland tumor, while ultrasound indicated a branchial cyst.

Findings:

  • The clinical presentation of KFD mimicked a submandibular salivary gland tumor on X-ray and a branchial cyst on ultrasound.
  • Histopathological examination is essential for confirming the diagnosis of KFD.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering KFD in the differential diagnosis of neck masses.
  • Precise diagnostic methods are crucial to distinguish KFD from malignant lymphoma and other neoplastic or cystic lesions.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis of KFD prevents misdiagnosis and ensures appropriate treatment strategies.
