Abstract:
We describe a unique association of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's disease) and chronic lymphocytic (Hashimoto's) thyroiditis in a patient who presented with significant cervical lymphadenopathy and a goiter. This case illustrates the value of lymph node biopsy combined with the fine needle aspiration of the thyroid in determining the nature of the relationship between the goiter and lymphadenopathy.
