Necrotising histiocytic lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's disease) is a recognised cause of benign lymphadenopathy. It has been reported in association with both adult Still's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). We report a case of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), in which biopsy of enlarged lymph nodes occurring as a presenting feature showed the characteristic features of Kikuchi's disease. This finding supports the belief that Kikuchi's disease and the autoimmune rheumatic disorders may share a common aetiology.
坏死性组织细胞性淋巴结炎（菊池病）是一种公认的良性淋巴结病病因。有报道称其与成人斯蒂尔病、系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）及混合性结缔组织病（MCTD）相关。我们报告1例混合性结缔组织病（MCTD），其首发症状为淋巴结肿大，淋巴结活检显示具有菊池病的特征性表现。这一发现支持菊池病与自身免疫性风湿性疾病可能有共同病因的观点。
