Abstract

Histocystic necrotizing lymphadenitis (HNL) is a self limiting, rare, benign disorder of the lymph nodes with idiopathic etiology, predominantly seen in young women. We report a rare case of kikuchi Fujimoto disease, also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis which is a rare entity, occurring most commonly in young Asian adults. A 25year female patient presented to our hospital with chief complaints of tender, palpable right breast lump. The biopsy report confirmed the diagnosis of kikuchi Fujimoto disease (KFD).
