Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a benign, self-limiting condition characterized by lymphadenopathy and fever. Its diagnosis can be challenging, as the disease must be differentiated from lymphoma and systemic lupus erythematosus. Patients can present with nonspecific cutaneous lesions. Adequate clinical and histopathologic correlation can aid in the timely diagnosis of Kikuchi's disease, thus preventing the use of unnecessary diagnostic procedures and inappropriate treatments.
菊池-藤本病是一种以淋巴结病和发热为特征的良性自限性疾病。其诊断具有挑战性,因为该疾病必须与淋巴瘤和系统性红斑狼疮相鉴别。患者可能出现非特异性皮肤病变。充分的临床与组织病理学相关性有助于及时诊断菊池病,从而避免不必要的诊断程序和不恰当的治疗。
