ABSTRACT
Kikuchi – Fujimoto Disease (KFD) or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis is a rare benign, self-limited cervical lymphadenitis of unknown etiology. Kikuchi first described the disease in 1972 in Japan. Fujimoto and colleagues independently described Kikuchi’s disease in the same year. It pre-dominantly affects young women and can closely mimic infective and immunological disorders. In this article a case of KFD in a young female is described.
