Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD) is very uncommon diseases in the population and also called by alternative name as Histiocytic Necrotizing Lymphadenitis. Its show the symptoms like cancer as benign and create the confusion in the detection and also shows self-limiting auto-immune disease, systemic lupus erythematosus and tuberculosis. It has symptoms such as cervical lymphadenopathy (enlargement of lymph nodes), low fever, headache, fatigue, night sweats and muscles pain. It typically affects young females under the age of 20-35 years and it mostly affects Asian populations. The accurate diagnosis of KFD is characterized by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) by taking blood sample from the swelled lymph node. Diagnosis is also possible with Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB). Treatment for this disease has not been established. Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) or steroids are used to alleviate lymph node tenderness and fever.
