Abstract

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare condition of unknown etiology
presenting with cervical lymphadenopathy along with associated symptoms of fever, weight loss. It is often misdiagnosed
due to rare existence. We report a case of a 21-year-old female who presented with painful cervical lymphadenopathy and
low-grade fever on and off for 6 months. Examination revealed left-sided multiple, tender, matted lymph nodes measuring
maximum 2 cm in size, firm and mobile. Patient underwent a panel of investigations including cervical biopsy, which
revealed findings of KFD.
