Resumen

La enfermedad de Kikuchi-Fujimoto (EKF) fue descrita en el año 1972 y se caracteriza por la aparición de fiebre y adenopatías preferentemente cervicales. Es un diagnóstico raro y entra dentro del diagnóstico diferencial de las adenopatías cervicales. El diagnóstico definitivo de la enfermedad es anatomopatológico. La enfermedad es autolimitada y casi siempre tiene una evolución favorable. Revisamos dos casos diagnosticados en nuestro hospital. Uno de los casos cursó con una meningitis aséptica que es una complicación muy rara

Abstract

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease, described for the first time in 1972, is an unusual diagnosis that is characterized by lymph node enlargement and fever. Cervical lymph nodes are affected so often that ENT specialists should be aware of this entity during differential diagnosis. The diagnosis was done by histologi-cal features, necrotizing lymphadenitis. The disease is self-limited and it has good prog-nosis. We have reviewed two cases in our hospital. We report an aseptic meningoence-phalitis as a rare complication
