Abstract

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare, idiopathic and usually self-limiting disease caused by lymphadenitis. The main symptoms are lymphadenopathy and fever, and less frequent symptoms are night sweats, arthralgia, weight loss and rashes. A case of a 16 years old boy is presented. His complaints were cervical mass presenting for about three weeks, night sweats, weight loss and fatigue. Our aim is that in the differential diagnosis of fever and lymphadenopathy of unknown origin, diseases such as lymphoma and tuberculosis, as well as rare and mostly very benign Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease should be remembered.

Abstract

Özet
Kikuchi-Fujimoto hastalığı kendi kendini sınırlayan bir hastalık olup lenfadenitin oldukça nadir görülen sebeplerinden biridir. Başlıca semptomları lenfadenopati ve ateştir. Daha nadir olarak gece terlemesi, artralji, kilo kaybı ve cilt bulguları görülebilir. Bu yazıda üç haftadır mevcut olan servikal bölgede kitle,
gece terlemesi, kilo kaybı ve yorgunluk şikayetleri olan 16 yaşında erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Yazının amacı, nedeni belirsiz ateş ve lenfadenopatinin ayırıcı tanısında lenfoma ve tüberküloz gibi hastalıkların yanı sıra nadir görülen ve genellikle iyi seyirli olan Kikuchi-Fujimoto hastalığının da akılda tutulmasını
vurgulamaktır.
