Kikuchi–Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is a rare and generally self-limiting of uncertain etiology that presents with fever cervical lymphadenopathy in both the pediatric adult populations. Here, we present case 5-year-old male who presented acute onset which was initially diagnosed managed staphylococcal lymphadenitis. He underwent an excisional bi...

Forty-five patients with localized non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of unfavorable histologic type (41 patients had diffuse histiocytic, 2 had nodular mixed, and 2 had minimally nodular histiocytic lymphoma) were treated with initial chemotherapy (28 patients), including cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP), or with initial CHOP followed by involved field radiotherapy (17 pati...

Lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (LPHL) was first described as Hodgkin’s paragranuloma by Jackson and Parker in 1944 [1]. Subsequently, a number of different terms such as lymphocytic-predominant Hodgkin’s disease or lymphocytic and histiocytic-predominant Hodgkin’s disease were used [2]. LPHL is rare, accounting for 5% of all Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) cases in western countries [3]. LPHL an...

A 40 year old woman developed recurrent Kikuchi's disease 12 years after the original episode. The recurrence affected the same site (axilla) and occurred after the longest delay so far recorded in a European resident. Care must be taken to avoid misdiagnosis of Kikuchi's disease as lymphoma.

A chimeric HLA-DR4-H2-E (DR4) homozygous transgenic mouse line spontaneously develops diverse hematological malignancies with high frequency (70%). The majority of malignancies were distributed equally between T and B cell neoplasms and included lymphoblastic T cell lymphoma (LTCL), lymphoblastic B cell lymphoma (LBCL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the histiocyte/T cell rich variant o...

Kikuchi's disease is usually a self limiting illness characterised by pyrexia, neutropenia, and cervical lymphadenopathy particularly in young women of Asian descent. This often leads to an initial misdiagnosis of lymphoma. A case of a young Asian woman who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin is described.
