Cervical polyadenopathy due to Kikuchi and Fujimoto disease
1997
: Kikuchi and Fujimoto disease is a benign subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis, probably associated to a viral infection, that affects mostly young Asian women. We report a 19 years old women, with a vast familiar history of thyroid disease (three uncles with papillary thyroid carcinoma and one with a Hashimoto thyroiditis). After an upper respiratory infection, she presented with painless cervical adenopathies. Cervical ultrasound examination detected an 8 mm thyroidal nodule. She was operated with the diagnosis of thyroidal cancer. The pathological examination confirmed that the nodule was a papillary thyroidal cancer, but the study of the resected lymph nodes, revealed a Kikuchi and Fujimoto disease.
