Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is an uncommon clinicopathological entity characterized by fever and lymphadenopathy, predominantly involving cervical lymph nodes, accompanied by chills and leukopenia. The diagnosis relies primarily on the presence of typical morphological features in the swelling lymph nodes. KFD can occur as a benign and self-limiting lymphadenopathy, but it can sporadically p...

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as Kikuchi’s or histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis, is a rare and benign medical condition of unknown aetiology. It often misdiagnosed lymphoma systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), leading to inappropriate investigations delayed treatment. thus important for clinicians be cognizant this when assessing patients with cervical lymphadenopathy.

histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis or kikuchi's disease is a rare, benign condition of unknown etiology, which is usually characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. this disease is rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. here we describe, for the first time in iran, a patient who developed systemic lupus erythematosus about 3 years after the initial diagnosis of kikuch...

Background: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is an enigmatic, benign and self-limited syndrome characterized by regional lymphadenopathy with tenderness, usually accompanied by mild fever and night sweats. Patient: A 17 years old girl admitted in infectious diseases ward with chief complaint of fever and cervical lymphadenopathy since one week ago. Her problems started with fever and pharyngitis....

Objective: To describe an unusual case of drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms presenting as fever unknown origin (FUO) the diagnostic hurdles that come presence differential diagnosis FUO, which is tuberculous lymphadenitis. Methods: A 34-year-old female a chief complaint has lasted for 3 weeks accompanied jaundice skin rashes 2 was admitted indication FUO. She had history car...

The accurate diagnosis of malignant cervical lymphadenopathy remains challenging. In this study, we determined the value of quantitative parameters derived from dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for differentiating malignant cervical lymphadenopathy caused by thyroid carcinoma (TC), salivary gland carcinoma (SC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and lymphoma. We retrospectively analysed 92 pa...

autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (alps) is an uncommon nonmalignant lymphoproliferative disease which is characterized by chronic, persistent or recurrent lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, immune cytopenia, hypergammaglobinemia and increased risk of lymphoma. we report a 2-year old boy with hepatosplenomegaly as first presentation. petechial and purpuric rashes with massive ce...

BACKGROUND Patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma may have residual cervical lymphadenopathy after definitive treatment of the primary tumour and regional cervical nodal disease. Whether such lymphadenopathy truly represents persistent disease is unclear. There are few published studies addressing this clinical problem. METHODS We retrospectively and systematically reviewed the clinical recor...

Tuberculosis is one of the most common causes for cervical lymphadenopathy apart from distant metastasis and lymphoma. Early diagnosis this disease reduces patient’s morbidity by initiating early course Antitubercular treatment with complete resolution disease. Hence, condition we are searching a modality which can give results in shorter period time, more sensitive, specific important easier t...

The goal of this study was to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of Virtual Touch tissue imaging quantification (VTIQ) shear wave elastography in the discrimination of benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes in routine clinical practice. Shear wave velocity was analyzed using VTIQ in 100 patients with 100 histologically proven cervical lymph nodes. Diagnostic performance was ev...
