Kikuchi’s disease called also Kikuchi- Fujimoto’s disease or Histiocytic
necrotizing lymphadenitis is a rare entity. It is a self-limiting process of
unknown etiology first reported in Japanese literature separately by
Kikuchi and Fujimoto in 1972
. Then similar cases have subsequently been
reported throughout the world.
We reported a case of Kikuchi's disease in a. 38-year-old man presenting
with generalized lymphadenopathy and persistent fever throughout more
than 2 months. It’s the first case was diagnosed in Al muwasat University
Hospital in Syria.
We reviewed the literature to summarize and report the most common
clinical, laboratory and histology characteristics of Kikuchi- Fujimoto’s
disease.
