Abstract

Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD) is a rare and benign cause of lymphadenopathy that is often associated with fever, night sweats and weight loss. The clinical and laboratory manifestations of KFD are similar to those of lymphoma, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Definitive diagnosis is accomplished by lymph node biopsy6,7. Awareness of KFD among clinicians and pathologists is essential to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment of this self-limited disorder.
