Abstract:
The Kikuchi's disease is a distinctive type of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis that affects primarily the cervical lymphadenites of young adults and has a self-limited clinical course. Authors report the case of a 77-year old patient who presented with axillary and cervical, tender lymphadenopathy and who was diagnosed as having Kikuchi's disease upon excisional biopsy.
