Abstract

Background: Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis or KIKUCHI DISEASE (KD), first described in Japanese medical literature by Kikuchi-Fujimoto in 1972, is a rare, benign entity which predominantly affects young women. KD usually presents with painful or painless enlarged cervical lymph nodes. The diagnosis of KD can precede, postdate or coincide with the diagnosis of SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS (SLE).Case: A 29-year-old woman presented with right cervical and supraclavicular LYMPHADENOPATHY and gradually developed bilateral axillary, para-aortic and inguinal (generalized) LYMPHADENOPATHY.Biopsy of a lymph node showed necrotizing LYMPHADENOPATHY without hematoxylin bodies and thus diagnosis of KD was established. One year later, she developed constitutional symptoms like fever, sweating, weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite, and arthritis of small joints of hands and feet, and paraclinical studies revealed anemia, mild leucopenia, increased ESR, positive ANA and anti-dsDNA. Clinical diagnosis was therefore revised to SLE and patient was treated with corticosteroid and anti-malarial drugs.Conclusion: This is a rare case of SLE that presented with KD. Previous similar cases of SLE preceded by KD have also been described in literature. We suggest that subjects with KD be followed for a few years for the development of SLE.
