ABSTRACT

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is an unusual cause of lymphadenopathy and fever. Pregnancy associated with KFD presents as a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians. The diagnosis can be confirmed with invasive biopsies or non-invasive gene analysis. We report a case of a 24-year-old woman at 18 weeks' gestation with a neck lump and histologically confirmed KFD.
