Abstract
Kikuchi’s disease or the Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD) is a very rare, self-limiting, benign form of histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, which is mostly seen in young females. We are presenting a case of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) which occurred after 2 years in a patient of Kikuchi’s disease during a follow-up examination.
