ABSTRACT
We present the clinicopathological features of 10 patients with Kikuchi's lymphadenitis. It is important to distinguish this unusual form of necrotising lymphadenitis, both clinically and histologically, from lymphoma and infective lymphadenitis, including mycobacterial infection. The 10 lymph node biopsies studied were from young adults (9 women) with fever, cervical lymphadenopathy and elevated ESR. This is the first documentation of this condition in Sri Lanka. This benign self-limiting condition can be mistaken for lymphoma or infective lymphadenitis.
