Abstract
- Described originally in young Japanese women, Kikuchi's disease produces a histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis of predominant cervical lymph nodes. Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, Kikuchi's disease, is a condition rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). We present a 34-year-old woman with tender multiple cervical lymphadenopathy of 1-year duration and SLE symptoms. Histologic examination of lymph node shows histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis. She showed high titer of antinuclear antibody, skin lesion with photosensitivity, thrombocytopenia and arthritis. We describe a case of Kikuchi's disease associated with SLE.
