- Abstract
- Initially described in young Japanese women, Kikuchi's disease predominantly produces histiocytic
necrotizing lymphadenitis of the cervical lymph nodes along with fever; it always follows a benign course
with excellent outcomes. Kikuchi's disease is rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
However, the microscopic features of Kikuchi's disease can be similar to lupus lymphadenitis. Patients
with Kikuchi's disease should be assessed for SLE and have long-term follow-up evaluations for the
development of SLE. We present a 21-year-old woman with tender multiple cervical lymphadenopathy
and the clinical manifestations of SLE.(Korean J Med 71:456-460, 2006)
