Abstract :
Background: Kikuchi‘s disease refers to histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis more common cause for cervical lymphadenopathy. We present a case of bilateral axillary lymphadenopathy for 3 months duration who underwent biopsy confirmation for the same. Patient was treated symptomatically and with steroids. Discussion: Kikuchi‘s disease is a very rare disease and mainly presents with cervical lymphadenopathy. Unusual manifestations of isolated KFD include axillary and mesenteric lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, parotid gland enlargement, skin rashes, arthralgias, myalgias, aseptic meningitis, bone marrow haemophagocytosis and liver dysfunction. Differential diagnosis like malignant lymphoma, tuberculous lymphadenitis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has to be considered on such unusual presentations
