Abstract

Necrotizing histiocytic lymphadenopathy or Kikuchi's Disease (KD) is a rare clinical entity that is occasionally associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The histologic features of the disorder have been considered indistinguishable to lymphadenitis in patients with SLE, and the clinical symptoms of the two disorders share common features. This article presents a clinical case of a 23-year-old woman with a history of KD who later developed SLE.
