ABSTRACT
Kikuchi and Fujimoto disease is a benign subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis, probably associated to a viral infection, that affects mostly young Asian women. We report a 19 years old woman, with a vast familiar history of thyroid disease (3 uncles with papillary thyroid carcinoma and one with Hashimoto thyroiditis). After an upper respiratory infection, she presented with painless cervical adenopathies. Cervical ultrasound examination detected an 8 mm thyroidal nodule. She was operated with the diagnosis of thyroidal cancer. The pathological examination confirmed that the nodule was papillary thyroidal cancer, but the study of the resected lymph nodes, revealed a Kikuchi and Fujimoto disease
