We describe a rare case of intramammary lymphadenopathy due to Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease. A 15-year old female presented to the Breast Clinic with complaints of a tender, palpable right breast lump. An ultrasound of the area of concern demonstrated an enlarged 2.9 cm intramammary lymph node with preservation of the fatty hilum. An ultrasound guided core biopsy of the lymph node confirmed the diagnosis of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease.
