Kikuchi’s disease is a self limited, benign disease, which is characterized by fever, cervical lymphadenopathy and transient leucopenia. Although the etiology is unknown, infections and autoimmunity have been suggested. The condition is diagnosed with excisional biopsy and histopathologic examination and can often be confused with malignant lymphoma. There is no specific therapy. This disease should be considered in young cases of febrile lymphadenopathy. In this paper, clinical and pathological findings of the disease were discussed with a review of the literature.Keywords: Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, immunityTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2006, 26:457-460
