Dr. Dhanya. V, Dr. Suma. M. T

Abstract :

A 20 years old girl underwent laparoscopic appendicectomy with mesenteric lymph node biopsy for recurrent right iliac fossa pain of about 1 ½ months and ultrasonography showing enlarged mesenteric lymph node in right iliac fossa. Histopathological evaluation of excised nodes shows features of Kikuchi disease which was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Kikuchi disease of mesenteric node is extremely unusual and can be misdiagnosed and treated for appendicitis or tuberculosis. We are describing an unusual case of Kikuchi disease of mesenteric nodes and discuss various aspects.
