The Kikuchi-Fujimoto is a rare, self-limiting disease, which is characterized by regional lymphadenopathy. It occurs worldwide with a higher prevalence among Asians and women below the age of forty years. We present 41-year-old Nigerian woman who was investigated extensively for unilateral left cervical lymphadenopathy. She was eventually diagnosed as having the Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease and was managed conservatively thereafter. We describe a case report and review of literature for better awareness of the disease amongst medical practitioners and pathologists in Africa.
菊池-藤本病是一种罕见的自限性疾病,其特征为局部淋巴结病。该病在全球范围内均有发生,在亚洲人和40岁以下女性中患病率较高。我们报告了一名41岁的尼日利亚女性,她因左侧颈部单侧淋巴结病接受了广泛检查。她最终被诊断为患有菊池-藤本病,此后接受了保守治疗。我们描述了一例病例报告并回顾了文献,以便非洲的医生和病理学家更好地了解这种疾病。
