===General===
{{Main|Kikuchi disease}}
*Rare disease that may mimic [[cancer]], esp. [[lymphoma]].
**May cause fever & systemic symptoms.<ref name=pmid20121621>{{cite journal |author=Hutchinson CB, Wang E |title=Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease |journal=Arch. Pathol. Lab. Med. |volume=134 |issue=2 |pages=289–93 |year=2010 |month=February |pmid=20121621 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
 
Epidemiology:<ref name=pmid20121621/>
*Usually <40 years old.
*Asian.
*Female:Male = 3:1.<ref>URL: [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/210752-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/210752-overview]. Accessed on: 3 June 2010.</ref>
 
Treatment:
*Usually self-limited.<ref name=pmid20121621/>
*Oral corticosteroids.
 
DDx:
*Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
*[[Systemic lupus erythematosus]].
**Have ''hematoxyphil bodies'' in necrotic foci.
***Dark blue irregular bodies on H&E.
 
===Micrograph===
Features (the three main features - just as the name suggests):<ref>URL: [http://www.ispub.com/journal/the_internet_journal_of_head_and_neck_surgery/volume_1_number_1_30/article_printable/kikuchi_s_lymphadenitis_in_a_young_male.html http://www.ispub.com/journal/the_internet_journal_of_head_and_neck_surgery/volume_1_number_1_30/article_printable/kikuchi_s_lymphadenitis_in_a_young_male.html]. Accessed on: 1 June 2010.</ref>
*Histiocytes.
**May be crescentic.
*Necrosis (due to [[apoptosis]]) - paracortical areas.<ref name=pmid20121621/>
**[[Necrosis]] without neutrophils - '''key feature'''.
*Lymphocytes (CD8 +ve).
*Plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
 
Notes:
*Dendritic cell - vaguely resembles a macrophage:<ref>URL: [http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/hematology/hessedd/benignhematologicdisorders/normal-hematopoietic-cells/dendritic-cell.cfm?drid=214 http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/hematology/hessedd/benignhematologicdisorders/normal-hematopoietic-cells/dendritic-cell.cfm?drid=214]. Accessed on: 3 June 2010.</ref>
**Long membrane projections - '''key feature'''.
**Abundant blue-grey cytoplasm, +/- ground-glass appearance.
**Nucleus: small, ovoid, usu. single nucleolus.

===IHC===
*CD68 +ve.
*CD8 +ve - usu. predominant.
*CD4, CD20, CD3, and CD30 - mixed.
**Done to excluded lymphoma; esp. large cell lymphomas;<ref name=pmid19577167>{{cite journal |author=Good DJ, Gascoyne RD |title=Atypical lymphoid hyperplasia mimicking lymphoma |journal=Hematol.
