Cervical lymphadenopathy is one of the common presentations in present day surgical practise. The causes may vary from gastrointestinal malignancy indicating a grave prognosis to nonspecfic lymphadenopathy secondary to infection or trauma to the extremity which is self-limiting. Diagnosis most often requires contributions from pathologist as well as radiologist in addition to a detailed clinical examination. We are presenting a case of Kikuchi's disease which mimics tuberculosis and often leads to diagnostic dilemma.
颈部淋巴结病是当今外科实践中常见的表现之一。其病因多种多样,从预示严重预后的胃肠道恶性肿瘤到继发于感染或肢体创伤的非特异性淋巴结病(后者为自限性)。除了详细的临床检查外,诊断通常还需要病理学家和放射科医生的参与。我们现报告一例模仿结核病且常导致诊断困境的菊池病病例。
