Abstract

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a self-limited disease of unknown etiology that is clinically defined by fevers accompanied by tender posterior cervical lymphadenopathy. It often presents acutely or sub-acutely, and due to its non-specific features, the differential diagnosis is broad and includes infectious, autoimmune, and malignant causes. Although cases of extra-cervical disease are not uncommon, involvement of retroperitoneal lymph nodes has only rarely been reported. Here, we describe a patient with Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease who presented with fever of unknown origin, abdominal pain, and enlarged hypermetabolic retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
Keywords: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease; histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis; retroperitoneal lymph node Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease; histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis; retroperitoneal lymph node
