Abstract :

 Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease is an uncommon disorder with worldwide distribution, characterized by fever and benign enlargement of the lymph nodes, primarily affecting young adults.[1]Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease is a form of necrotizing lymphadenitis. Although the disease usually affects young women aged less than 30 years, it may also affect men with a wide range of age. Clinically generalized lymphadenopathy in the head and neck region may present. Lymph node specimens show areas of necrosis without neutrophilic infiltration.[2]
