Abstract EN
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a self-limiting lymphadenitis rarely presents outside Japan and is usually noted during the evaluation of lymphadenopathy.
We report a case of a 23-year-old female who presented with fever of unknown origin and splenomegaly for three weeks.
The patient underwent numerous investigations and was suspected of having malignant lymphoma.
Her follow-up physical examination revealed cervical and inguinal lymphadenopathy.
The histopathological report of the lymph node biopsy was consistent with Kikuchi - Fujimoto disease.
Splenomegaly, and lymphadenopathy resolved spontaneously after two months and the patient has been well ever since with strict follow-up for seven years.
