Abstract
- Kikuchi's disease (KD), histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, isa benign and self-limited disease which mainly affects young women. KD has been rarely described in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and its diagnosis can precede, postdate or coincide with the diagnosis of SLE. The tendency of flare-up of lupus activity with the onset of KD and the simultaneous occurrence of these two diseases suggest that they are not independent events. Herein, we report a case of KD associated with SLE in an 18-year-old female who showed tender erythematous papules on both upper extremities accompanied by cervical lymphadenopathy. The histopathologic examination of lymph nodes showed histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis.
