ABSTRACT

The case report of a 32 year-old patient is described who attended the department for presenting adenoid and febrile condition for several weeks, associated with general manifestations of anorexy and weight loss. In the clinical examination the presence of 2 cm cervical adenopathies and reddened oropharynx was confirmed. The results of the complementary tests and the histological evaluation of the lymph node confirmed that it was a necrosing histiocytic lymphadenitis in proliferative stage, (Kikuchi Fujimoto disease). The immunological histological and chemical study did not reveal malignancy.
