Abstract:
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign and self-limiting disease. The entity was first described in 1972 by Kikuchi and Fujimoto in Japan independently. KFD is prevalent in Asia, although it may be seen in a wide geographic distribution. It commonly affects young women. Cervical lymphadenopathy is the most prominent sign and should be differentiated from lymphoproliferative, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. We report a female patient with KFD presenting with enlarged tender cervical lymph nodes and provide a brief review of the literature. The diagnosis is established on the basis of histology of lymph node excisional biopsy.
