“…Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as benign histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is rare. Although most cases have been documented in Asia, this disease has been characterized globally since it was first identified in Japan in 1972 [1,2]. Although both genders are affected by this disease, young women with a mean age of 20 to 30 years predominate [3][4][5].…”

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD), also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is benign, sneaky, and uncommon. We present the case of a 29-year-old Indian male patient who presented with chills, a sore throat, joint discomfort, and an evening fever that lasted for several days.There was a slight rise in liver enzymes, an accelerated ESR, and slight leukocytosis. In the histological examination of the node, almost total preservation of its architecture was observed, with cortical and paracortical hyperplastic changes. Following the administration of NSAIDs, the patient displayed clinical remission. The prognosis for KFD is favorable, and most cases get better in a few months. However, diagnosing this rare condition is still challenging for the medical community, and histological studies are critical.
