Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare condition causing neck nodules. This case highlights its typical presentation and successful treatment with mepirizole, emphasizing differentiation from lymphoma.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Immunology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self-limiting histiocytic lymphadenitis.
  • It requires differentiation from malignant lymphoma, particularly in young patients.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old female presented with sudden onset of two subcutaneous neck nodules.
  • Microscopic examination of a nodule revealed necrotizing lymphadenitis.

Findings:

  • Prompt treatment with mepirizole led to the resolution of the smaller nodule.
  • No recurrence was observed during a 6-month follow-up period.

Implications:

  • Histopathological findings of fragmented nuclei, necrosis, and karyorrhexis without neutrophils suggest KFD.
