Abstract:
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, or necrotizing histiocyte lymphadenitis, is a rare anatomo-clinical entity of unknown cause. The patients present painful cervical lymph nodes, fever, and a flu-like syndrome, but the spontaneous course is usually favorable in six months. We observed two cases within six months in our unit. Both patients improved rapidly after diagnostic adenectomy.
