ABSTRACT
We reviewed 2 patients who had kikuchi-Fujimoto [KFD] and presented with prolonged fever and lymphadenopathy. The clinical and laboratory aspects of the patients confirmed by excisional lymph node biopsy. The histologic findings of the lymph biopsies showed the characteristic findings consistent with KFD, such as paracortical necrosis with karryorrhexis and an increase in the number of phagocytic histiocytes and atypical lymphoctes. KFD is a rare disease yet should be considered in the differential diagnosis for older children with prolonged fever and lymphadenpathy
