| description | Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, also known as histiocytic necrotizing lympadenitis, is an uncommon clinical and patological autolimited feature of bening prognosis that may mimic many other diseases diagnosed chiefly in young adults. It is clinically significant because of possible misdiagnosis of other diseses such as malignant lymphoma or tuberculosis. Thus, an early biopsy is instrumental in making definite diagnosis and preventing unnecessary investigation. We described a case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in a 22-year-old woman who presented with swollen lymph nodes and a fever. A rapid clinical improvement after lymph nodes excisional biopsy was remarkable. No treatment was given, and a full recovery was achived within six weeks. In this case had emphasized the clinical, histologic features, and outcome of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. |
