ABSTRACT
Kikuchi-Fujimoto Diseaase is a rare, self-limiting, benign disease that is presents with cervical lymphadenopathy, fever and transient leucopenia. There is
a higher incidence of Kikuchi- Fujimoto Disease in young women and Asian populations. It mimics malignant lymphoma on presentation, and therefore
an accurate clinicopathological differential diagnosis is crucial. Herein, we report a 33-year-old female who presented with relapsing fever, cervical lymphadenopathy
and fatigue.We discussed clinical and pathological findings of the disease with a review of the literature.
