Journal Title: Gujarat Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 72, Issue 1
Abstract
Intra- abdominal Kikuchi-Fujimoto`s disease is rare disease. There are few cases noted of Intra abdominal KFD. KFD is also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis. KFD mainly seen in Japan, North America, Europe and Asia and seen in young adult (20- 30yrs). Lymphadenopathy resolves over several weeks to six months and recurrent rate is 3%. Mortality is extremely rare usually due to hepatic, respiratory and cardiac failure. We are presenting the case Kikuchi-Fujimoto's disease presented as mesenteric lymphadenopathy. Background Kikuchi- Fujimoto`s disease is a benign, self limiting disease characterized by lymphadenopathy. The most common site of lymphadenopathy is cervical and intra-abdominal involvement is rare. In 1972, Kikuchi and fujimoto independently described necrotizing lymphadenitis as a bening self limiting illness characterized by regional lymphadenopathy, low grade fever common involve cervical lymphnode in young people and less involvement of lymphnode of other site. The diagnosis of intraabdominal KFD is done by histological examination of resected nodes with additional confirmation by immunestaining techniques
