title: [Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease: case report].
abstract: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a self-limited condition of young adults, that usually involves the cervical lymph nodes and is associated with persistent hyperthermia. Diagnosis is based on characteristic pathologic findings, that allows the differential diagnosis with other similar clinical conditions. We report one case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in a 12 year old girl and review the world literature.
