Abstract :

Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease or Histiocytic Necrotizing Lymphadenopathy is a benign, idiopathic and self limiting disease causing lymphadenopathy in young women. It is clinically diagnosed more frequently in females, with type and severity varying with each case. We report a case of 30-year-old female who presented herself at the Surgical OPD of ACS Medical College and Hospital, Chennai with Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease with no obvious etiology. Through this case report the authors recommend better awareness of the disease amongst clinicians and pathologists to establish a proper diagnosis of cervical adenitis and to facilitate early intervention
