title: Kikuchi's disease involving the supraclavicular lymph nodes and associated with transient eruption.
abstract: A 26-year-old woman presented with high fever, marked supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, and morbilliform eruptions and was diagnosed with Kikuchi's disease (KD) based on pathologic findings from biopsied lymph nodes. All her manifestations of KD improved, however, without any specific treatment. The picture of transient morbilliform eruptions typified in KD here is seldom shown in the literature. In general, KD would run a benign course of supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.
