title: Kikuchi-Fujimoto's Disease: Clinicopathological Correlation.
abstract: Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease is a benign, self-limiting disorder characterized by regional tender lymphadenopathy fever and night sweats. It most commonly affects Asian adult females younger than 40 years of age. We report a case of 26 year female who presented with cervical lymphadenopathy, which on FNAC revealed Necrotizing Granulomatous inflammation which was unresponsive for three months of antitubercular therapy. A diagnosis of Kikuchi Fujimoto's disease was suggested on review of the slides at our institute and a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
