RESUMO
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a benign, self-limiting lymphohistiocytic disorder. Although this condition is uncommon in Spain, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with lymphadenopathies. Although the classical presentation of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease usually involves the cervical lymph nodes, there are also atypical presentations, such as in the case presented here in which the patient had isolated axillary involvement.

La enfermedad de Kikuchi-Fujimoto es un trastorno linfohistiocítico benigno y autolimitado que, aunque infrecuente en nuestro medio, es uno de los diagnósticos diferenciales que debemos tener en cuenta en el paciente con adenopatías. Aunque clásicamente suele afectar a los ganglios cervicales, existen formas de presentación atípicas, como es el caso que presentamos de enfermedad de Kikuchi con afectación axilar aislada.(AU)
