Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare and benign disease, characterized by regional cervical lymphadenopathy with fever of unknown origin, affecting mainly young women. This self-limiting disease of unknown etiology has rarely been reported in children, so it has been frequently confused with malignancies. We describe a case of a child who was initially mistaken for malignant lymphoma because of multiple lymph nodes with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission tomography and was finally diagnosed with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease by excisional biopsy of the affected lymph node.
菊池-藤本病是一种罕见的良性疾病，其特征为局限性颈部淋巴结病伴不明原因发热，主要影响年轻女性。这种病因不明的自限性疾病在儿童中鲜有报道，因此常被误诊为恶性肿瘤。我们报告一例儿童病例，该患儿最初因正电子发射断层扫描显示多个淋巴结有18-氟脱氧葡萄糖摄取而被误诊为恶性淋巴瘤，最终通过对受累淋巴结进行切除活检确诊为菊池-藤本病。
