CORDOVA-PLUMA, VH et al. Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. Med. interna Méx. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.4, pp.540-547. ISSN 0186-4866.

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare, self-limiting disease of unknown etiology, manifested by lymphadenopathy, fever and less specific symptoms such as nocturnal diaphoresis, weight loss, headache, fatigue, nausea and arthralgias. The only way to establish the diagnosis is through the histopathological findings, characterized by coagulative necrosis with abundant remains of karyorrhexis in paracortical zones. The treatment is symptomatic, and a differential diagnosis must be made with infectious and neoplastic processes. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman in whom the diagnosis of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease was integrated, and a review of the literature is made.

Palavras-chave : Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease; histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis; lymphadenopathy.
