Özet
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis) is a rare cause of cervical lymphadenopathy which was first described in 1972. It usually affects young Asian women. The patient usually presents with systemic signs such as fever. Although the exact cause of the disease is unknown, infectious diseases and autoimmunity are suspected in many cases. We here present a biopsy-proven case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in a 26 year-old Turkish woman with its FNA findings and discuss the role of USG-guided FNA in diagnostic workup.
