KIKUCHI-FUJIMOTO disease (KFD), or HISTIOCYTIC NECROTIZING LYMPHADENITIS, is a benign and self-limited disease that mainly affects young women. Patients present with localized lymphadenopathy, fever, and leukopenia in up to half of the cases. It was first described by Dr Masahiro Kikuchi in 1972 and independently by Y. Fujimoto. This article briefs about a case of KFD which was earlier misinterpreted as a space infection and its diagnosis and management.
