A case report of a patient with a Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease that illustrates the attendant difficulties in differential diagnosis is presented. A thirty-three year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with the complaints of swelling at the axillary region, fever and arthralgia during the previous two weeks. On physical examination, the patient had 2*2cm left cervical and bilateral axillary lymphadenopthies. Complete blood count and biochemical tests were normal. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 42 mm/ h. Biopsy taken from axillary region revealed necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenitis, consistent with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is one of the rarest causes of benign lymphadenopathy. This disease, whose etiology is not known, is commonly misdiagnosed as lymphoma. This self-limited disease should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of benign lymphadenopathies.Keywords: Kikuchi-Fujimoto diseaseTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2004, 24:106-108
