Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease or histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, is an uncommon condition, usually benign and self-limited. However, it is sometimes associated with different systemic manifestations that can lead to significant mortality if they are not identified and treated. We present an adult woman who suffered from fever and adenopathies. She developed hemophagocytic syndrome and aseptic meningitis. The histopathological diagnosis was Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. A brief review of the literature on this pathology and its associated systemic manifestations are also included in the case.
