Recurrent Kikuchi`s disease : a case report.
Pak J Surg Nov ;24(1):68-70.
Kikuchi`s disease is a rare cause of cervical lymphadenopathy that is mostly seen in young women. This report describes the case of a 30 years old woman who presented with recurrent cervical lymphadenopathy. She had a history of enlarged cervical nodes about three years ago for which a biopsy was done that showed non-specific inflammation. She was given a course of antibiotics and the nodes subsided within a couple of months. She underwent excision biopsy of two lymph nodes for her current lymphadenopathy which were sent to two different laboratories; both reported it as a case of Kikuchi`s disease.
