Abstract EN
The Kikuchi-Fujimoto is a rare, self-limiting disease, which is characterized by regional lymphadenopathy.
It occurs worldwide with a higher prevalence among Asians and women below the age of forty years.
We present 41-year-old Nigerian woman who was investigated extensively for unilateral left cervical lymphadenopathy.
She was eventually diagnosed as having the Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease and was managed conservatively thereafter.
We describe a case report and review of literature for better awareness of the disease amongst medical practitioners and pathologists in Africa.
