A 34-year-old female who had supraclavicular lymphadenopathy applied to our clinic. Pathological examination of the lymph node excised via biopsy was reported as Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) also called histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis. The clinical course was self limited with lymph node excision and nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs. Spontaneous resolution was seen within two months as reported in the literature. KFD’s etiology is unknown and it is one of the reasons of benign lymphadenopathy. It is important because of the possibility of misdiagnosis with many diseases including lymphoma.
