[Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis or Kikuchi and Fujimoto's disease. A case report].
We describe a case of necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenitis or Kikuchi and Fujimoto disease, a rare lymphadenopathy of unknown etiology usually striking young women. It was formerly described in Japan, and subsequently in other countries and in Italy as an anatomo-clinical entity. The disease has a favourable prognosis, therefore it has to be considered differently from other lymphadenopathies with severe prognosis whose anatomo-pathological differential features were analyzed by the authors. The case here observed differs from other cases described in literature because of the presence of a perilymphadenitic component.
