Abstract EN
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare, benign, and self-limiting condition that mostly affects young females.
Cervical lymphadenopathy with fever is the most common presentation of the disease.
It may have unusual presentations that can lead to diagnostic dilemma and delay in diagnosis.
We report a case of a 25-year-old female who presented with relapsing fever and cervical lymphadenopathy.
Because of atypical presentation, there was a delay in diagnosis and increase in morbidity.
High index of suspicion with collaboration between clinicians and pathologists is essential for early and accurate diagnosis of the disease.
