Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease KFD is a rare and benign cause of cervical lymphadenopathy. It is an anatomoclinical entity of unknown etiology. The confirmation of the diagnosis is always provided by histological lymph node study. The clinical picture sometimes evokes lymphoma or tuberculosis. The evolution is generally favorable with spontaneous healing after a few weeks. We report the case of a 26-year-old woman who had consulted for cervical lymphadenopathy associated with fever. The cervical lymph node biopsy concluded to Kikuch-Fujimoto's disease. The evolution was marked by rapid regression of lymphadenopathy under corticosteroid treatment.
菊池-藤本病(KFD)是引起颈部淋巴结病的一种罕见的良性病因。它是一种病因不明的解剖临床实体。诊断的确立总是通过淋巴结组织学检查来提供。临床表现有时会使人联想到淋巴瘤或结核病。病情发展一般较好,几周后可自愈。我们报告一例26岁女性患者,因颈部淋巴结病伴发热前来就诊。颈部淋巴结活检确诊为菊池-藤本病。在皮质类固醇治疗下,淋巴结病迅速消退,病情明显好转。
