Palabras clave: kikuchi-fujimoto disease, histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, fever of unknown origin
The Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare disease that occurs mostly in young adults, although some cases have been reported in children. It is usually characterized by fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. The etiology of the disease remains unknown. Its course is usually benign and self-limited. It has special histopathological features that allow the differential diagnosis with other entities, which from a clinical point of view can be very complicated. We report a 9 years 11 months old girl with lymphadenopathy and fever with five months evolution, which is the longest evolution among the cases reviewed by the authors in world literature. Given that the presentation of this disease in children is very rare, we estimate that the knowledge of this disease is relevant and pediatricians must consider it in the differential diagnosis of fever of unknown origin in children.
