| description | Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) manifests in most cases
as unilateral cervical lymphadenomegaly with or without
accompanying fever. The disease is rare and mainly affects
young women and has a self-limited course. KFD should be
included in the differential diagnosis of suspected cases of viral
infections, tuberculosis, reactive lymphadenitis, systemic lupus
erythematosus and metastatic diseases. It can be histologically
confused with lymphoma. The disease is benign and selflimiting and an excisional biopsy of an affected lymph node is
often necessary for diagnosis. There is no specific therapy. This
study reports four cases of female patients with KFD who were
attended at Yashoda hospital, Malakpet. A review of the
literature was carried out with a systematic search on this topic
with the aim of informing physicians about this entity that is
manifested by cervical masses and fever. Fourth case was
interesting because of its association with autoimmune disease
(SLE-systemic lupus erythematosus |
