Abstract:

In order to determine the clinical significance of Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymhadenitis) and to review the literature available on this condition, we selected the Medicine research papers in English language published between the years 1972 to 2011. Kikuchi Fujimoto Disease (KFD) is an uncommon, cosmopolitan, benign and self-limiting condition with higher Japanese and Asian prevalence. Most of the sufferers of KFD are young people who seek treatment because of having acute tender cervical lymphadenopathy, low grade fever and night sweats. Coagulative necrosis with amp

Abstract:

A lady from Sudan was referred to our medical clinic as a case of cervical lymphadenopathy with gradual enlargement. She had no complaint. The cervical lymphadenopathy was not associated with pain, fever, weight loss, cough, neither bleeding nor other associated swellings. There was no history of chronic medical problems including TB and underwent thorough investigations including LN biopsy. Lymphoma was initially suspected. Fine-needle aspiration and excision biopsy were undertaken. Histological analysis later suggested Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphaden

Abstract:

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), also know as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a benign disorder characterized histologically by necrotic foci surrounded by histiocytic aggregates, and with the absence of neutrophils. KFD was recognized in Japan, where it was first described in 1972. The disease is most commonly affecting young women. The cause of the disease is unknown, and its exact pathogenesis has not yet been clarified. Many investigators have postulated viral etiology of KFD, connecting it with Epstein Barr virus, human herpes simplex virus 6 parvo B 19, but also with toxoplasmic

Abstract:

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare entity characterized by subacute necrotizing lymphadenopathy and frequently associated with fever. Young adults of Asian ancestry are most commonly affected, but it has been reported worldwide. Despite many studies in the literature, the cause of KFD remains uncertain. Histologically, KFD is characterized by paracortical lymph node expansion with patchy, well-circumscribed areas of necrosis showing abundant karyorrhectic nuclear debris and absence of neutrophils and eosinophils. Three evolving histologic patterns—proliferative, necrotizing, and xanthoma

<strong><em>Abstract—</em></strong><em> Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare disease. It has a worldwide distribution with a higher prevalence in Asians. KFD is usually a self limiting disease and benign in nature. Clinically it presents as regional cervical lymphadenopathy and sometimes may presents as generalized lymphadenopathy as well. Night sweats and low grade fever may also be associated in some cases. A case of a 36 year old female had attended in SMS Hospital. She presented with fever, weight loss and tender cervical lymph nodes. Diagnostic significance of KFD lies in that it may

Abstract:

CONTEXT: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) manifests in most cases as unilateral cervical lymphadenomegaly, with or without accompanying fever. The disease mainly affects young women and has a self-limited course. It is more common in oriental countries, with few reports of its occurrence in Brazil. KFD should be included in the differential diagnosis of suspected cases of viral infections, tuberculosis, reactive lymphadenitis, systemic lupus erythematosus and metastatic diseases. It can be histologically confused with lymphoma. The disease is benign and self-limiting and an excisional biopsy of

Abstract:

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis was first described in Japan in 1972. It is described as a benign syndrome most commonly involving cervical lymphadenopathy, fever, and night sweats. The etiology of KFD is unknown but it is thought to be triggered by an autoimmune or viral process with an exaggerated T-cell-mediated immune response. KFD can mimic other serious conditions such as lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), herpes simplex, and Epstein Barr virus. Diagnosis is confirmed histopathologically. Kikuchi’s disease is typically reported to have a

Abstract:

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare entity of uncertain cause that commonly presents with persistently enlarged cervical lymph nodes unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Although it usually follows a benign course, KFD has been repeatedly misdiagnosed as malignant lymphoma; hence, clinicians and pathologists alike need to be aware of this disease entity. The newest developments regarding the etiology and course of KFD are presented through a review of the literature and a recent illustrative case.

Abstract:

Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare disease first reported in 1972 by Kikuchi and Fujimoto et al. It is more common in young females under 30 years of age. It is a self-limited disease characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy. Headache accompanied by fever is a common symptom of this disease; however, the central nervous system (CNS) can also be involved. CNS involvement in KFD is extremely rare and remains a diagnostic challenge. We describe a KFD patient with aseptic meningitis who had a headache as the first symptom of aseptic meni

Abstract:

Abstract Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a self-limiting disease of unknown etiology. The diagnosis of KFD is challenging as it shares a resemblance with many viral, autoimmune, and neoplastic diseases. KFD generally presents with histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis involving multiple cervical lymph nodes. The authors present a rare case report of a recurrent case of KFD in a 49-year-old female patient. Intravenous dexamethasone, hydroxychloroquine, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were used for controlling the initial symptoms, and later, oral methylprednisolone was used as a main
