We present the clinicopathological features of 10 patients with Kikuchi's lymphadenitis. It is important to distinguish this unusual form of necrotising lymphadenitis, both clinically and histologically, from lymphoma and infective lymphadenitis, including mycobacterial infection. The 10 lymph node biopsies studied were from young adults (9 women) with fever, cervical lymphadenopathy and elevated ESR. This is the first documentation of this condition in Sri Lanka. This benign self-limiting condition can be mistaken for lymphoma or infective lymphadenitis.
我们呈现了10例菊池氏淋巴结炎患者的临床病理特征。在临床和组织学上，将这种不寻常的坏死性淋巴结炎与淋巴瘤及感染性淋巴结炎（包括分枝杆菌感染）区分开来很重要。所研究的10例淋巴结活检标本来自年轻成年人（9名女性），他们有发热、颈部淋巴结病和血沉升高的症状。这是斯里兰卡关于这种病症的首次记录。这种良性自限性病症可能会被误诊为淋巴瘤或感染性淋巴结炎。
