Cervical lymphadenopathy is a common problem in children. Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis) is a rare condition that causes persistent lymphadenopathy and has a characteristic histological appearance. Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is well recognized in Japan, where it was
BACKGROUND
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a very rare cause of benign lymphadenopathy affecting mainly young Asiatic females. Little is known about the causative agent of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease; however, there are hypotheses of infectious, autoimmune, or hyperimmune background of the disease that
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, benign, generally self-limiting disease that has higher prevalence in Asian people with a few cases reported in European countries. It generally affects young subjects under 40 years of age and is characterized by regional lymphadenopathy. Here, we present a
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare disease first described in 1972 by Kikuchi and Fujimoto et al. (1,2). Clinically the disease presents with lymphadenitis usually in the cervical region. Most reported cases of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease have been of Asian origin. The cause is unknown and the
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a self-limiting histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis of unknown origin. Of note, KFD was infrequently reported in adult systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with rare occurrence in childhood-SLE (C-SLE) patients. To our knowledge, the prevalence of KFD in the
Kikuchi Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis which has a benign self-limiting clinical course. Its origin is unknown, but an abnormal autoimmune reaction has been suggested and infection is often considered to be an inciting agent. A 50-year-old man presented with
A 23-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of fevers, cervical lymphadenopathy and fatigue. A CT of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis showed left cervical lymphadenopathy, enlarged lymph nodes in the axilla and groin and hepatomegaly. A left cervical excisional lymph node biopsy was
The authors describe two children with Kikuchi necrotizing lymphadenitis, the main manifestations of which were cervical lymphadenopathy, fatigue, and fever. The diagnosis was based on histopathologic findings after open biopsy. Results of serologic studies, immunoperoxidase staining for
We describe a 50-year-old woman with a history of thyroid cancer who presented with bilateral cervical and submandibular lymphadenopathy, low-grade fevers, and increasing fatigue. The patient underwent lymph node fine-needle aspiration, which showed no evidence of metastatic or lymphoproliferative
BACKGROUND
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a self-limited clinicopathologic entity that is increasingly recognized worldwide. Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy occurring in young adults. Neurologic involvement is rare, and testitis directly caused by Kikuchi-Fujimoto
Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD) was first described in Japan in 1972. The disease frequently mimics tuberculous lymphadenitis, malign lymphoma, and many other benign and malignant conditions. To our knowledge, there is no previous study comparing the clinical and laboratory characteristics of
We report the case of a 29-year-old Turkish woman who was admitted to hospital with a 4-week history of fever up to 39.0 °C, headache, sore throat, fatigue and painful cervical and right-sided axillary lymph node swelling. Computed tomography imaging of the neck, thorax and abdomen identified
We describe, to our knowledge, the first native Finnish patients with Kikuchi's histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis. The diagnosis was based in all cases on histopathological findings in open biopsy. The disease was first detected in Japan in 1972, but in Scandinavia, until this decade, there had
