Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease: A case report and review of literature. 
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign and self-limiting disease.  The entity was first described in 1972 by Kikuchi and Fujimoto in Japan independently.  KFD is prevalent in Asia, although it may be seen in a wide geographic distribution.  It commonly affects young women.  Cervical lymphadenopathy is the most prominent sign and should be differentiated from lymphoproliferative, autoimmune, and infectious diseases.  We report a female patient with KFD presenting with enlarged tender cervical lymph nodes and provide a brief review of the literature.  The diagnosis is established on the basis of histology of lymph node excisional biopsy.
