Histiocytic Necrotizing Lymphadenitis (Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease) Diagnosed by Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy

Abstract: A case of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis involving a right submandibular lymph node is described in a 14-year-old Caucasian boy. The diagnosis was established on initial assessment by fine needle aspiration biopsy. Excisional biopsy, performed because the lymph node enlargement failed to regress, confirmed the cytological findings.

“…KH'nin kendini sınırlayan doğasına rağmen lenfoma gibi daha ciddi hastalıkları dışlamak için biyopsi yapılmalıdır. Eksizyonel biyopsi daha çok önerilir, fakat son zamanlarda ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisinin yeterli tanısal değerinin olduğu bildirilmiştir 20,21 . Bizim hastamızda ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi yapılarak tanı konuldu.…”

“…Sistemik lupus eritematozlu bir hastada lenf nodu büyümesi lupus lenfadeniti, KH, tüberküloz gibi infeksiyöz lenfadenit veya lenfomaya bağlı olabilir. SLE'li bir hastada lenfadenopati tespit edildiğinde ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi yeterli tanısal değere sahip olabilir, fakat kesin karar verilemeyen kuşkulu durumlarda eksizyonel biyopsi yapılmalı ve tecrübeli bir patolog tarafından değerlendirilmelidir 21,31,32 . Kikuchi hastalığının etkili bir tedavisi yoktur.…”

“…27 The age of onset and the female predominance are also similar. In the case of onset of lymphadenopathy in a subject with a previously established diagnosis of SLE, fine needle biopsy may have sufficient diagnostic value, 32,35 but in uncertain clinical situations differential diagnosis requires the evaluation of lymph node biopsy by an experienced pathologist. 36 As the prognosis and treatment of NHL and SLE are essentially different, it is important to differentiate between these two entities.…”
