Kikuchi's disease (necrotising lymphadenitis) is characterised by cervical lymphadenopathy in young patients and may be mistaken for malignant disease both clinically and histologically. Microscopically, there is a varying degree of effacement of the lymph node architecture and necrosis with an infiltrate of "histiocytic" cells and absence of polymorphs. The disease is of unknown aetiology. It ...

Kikuchi's disease is a rare, benign, self-limited disorder, characterised clinically by fever and tender regional lymphadenopathy. It has been reported worldwide and is particularly common in people of Asian descent. The cause of Kikuchi's disease is unknown.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign, self-limiting disease characterized by histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis. Though several viral agents or an autoimmune etiology has been proposed as causative, the exact cause remains unknown. It has a female predilection and most commonly seen among young Asian people. Patients usually present with a febrile illness and the presence of lymphadeno...

Until recently, about 150 000 women received these implants annually in the United States—80% for breast augmentation and the others almost exclusively for reconstruction after cancer surgery. There is little doubt about the beneficial psychological eVects of breast implants, but there is increasing awareness of alleged adver...

BACKGROUND Kikuchi Fujimoto disease (KFD), or histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis, is a benign and self-limiting condition characterised by primarily affecting the cervical lymph nodes. Recurrent aseptic meningitis in association with KFD is extremely rare and remains a diagnostic challenge. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 28-year-old man who presented 7 episodes of aseptic meningitis associa...
