It is common in Asian population and affects mostly young adults in head and neck region. Differential diagnosis of KD includes Kikuchi disease, Mikulicz’s disease and neoplasm like Hodgkin and non- Hodgkin lymphoma. A detailed clinical history along with radiological and pathological correlation is required for the correct diagnosis.
