“…The clinical and biologic characteristics of our Afro‐Caribbean series were compared by pooling 455 Asian patients from 4 large Asian series and another mainly Caucasian population of 36 patients from 2 European series . The quantitative data were expressed as means with extremes using Excel (Microsoft) software, and qualitative data were expressed in units and percentages.…”

“…Our case is unusual because the patient had two relapses, which is rare [10], months after irst having a lymph node removed for diagnostic purposes. The relapses occurred at the same anatomical site and the irst lymph nodes were surgically removed in order to exclude lymphoma.…”

“…The latter perhaps due to obliteration of sinuses and proliferations of plasmacytoid monocytes and immunoblasts [10]. Other histological, as well as clinical differential diagnosis include tuberculous adenitis, cat scratch disease and herpes virus infection [9].…”

“…Skin lesions may indicate an evolution into SLE. An association with other connective tissue diseases such as Still's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, polymyositis, autoimmune hepatitis, Sjögren's syndrome, cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, antiphospholipid syndrome, as well as mixed connective tissue disease is also suspected [5,7,10].…”

A 21 year-old woman presented with cervical lymphadenopathy and night sweats. Initially, lymphoma was suspected and one of the enlarged lymph nodes was excised in order to make a diagnosis. Histopathological examination revealed Kikuchi's disease, which is usually a benign syndrome with spontaneous resolution. The disease is very rare, particularly in Caucasian populations. A higher incidence is seen in patients of Asian descent.The patient had persistent swelling of cervical lymph nodes over several months and further lymph nodes were removed as malignant transformation was suspected. However examinations showed only Kikuchi's disease. There was given no specifi c treatment. Follow-up appointments were performed biannually and the patient is currently awaiting removal of yet another swollen lymph node on suspicion of relapse of her Kikuchi's disease.

Lupus erythematosus (LE) is a complex spectrum of disease, involving one or multiple organ systems, and characterized by humoral and cellular autoimmunity, resulting in combinations of skin, joint, vascular and internal organ involvement. Skin disease occurs in the overwhelming majority of patients, and the patterns of skin involvement form an important part of subclassification, with localized discoid lupus usually being a single‐system manifestation, and acute cutaneous LE part of a potentially fatal multisystem disease. Intermediate forms, including subacute cutaneous LE are common and variable in their involvement of other organ systems. Ultraviolet exposure is an important disease precipitant. LE forms a major part of the group of disorders called connective tissue diseases, along with systemic sclerosis, localized and generalized morphoea, dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren syndrome on the basis of clinical, pathological and immunological overlap.
