Uncommon presentation of Kikuchi disease

Abstract

Abstract Kikuchi disease is common among Asians and women aged about 30 years. General symptoms include cervical lymphadenopathy and fever; 64% of the cases are self‐limiting. However, this case is axillary lymphadenopathy, which is the main symptom in males. Thus, Kikuchi disease may be considered in the differential diagnosis of axillary lymphadenopathy.
