Kikuchi-Fujimoto lymphadenitis in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection: The importance of precision pathology
We present a case of Kikuchi lymphadenitis associated with HIV. This highlights that Kikuchi lymphadenitis may mimic sinister pathologies (such as tuberculosis and lymphoma) and that it needs to be considered in the differential diagnosis before empirical treatment for tuberculosis or invasive investigations for lymphoma are done.
