  • Title: [Necrotizing lymphadenitis (Kikuchi's disease) and systemic lupus erythematosus: a single entity?].
    Author: Tumiati B, Casoli P, Gasparini E, Carretti C, Portioli I.
    Journal: Ann Ital Med Int; 1993; 8(1):25-8. PubMed ID: 8485006.
    Abstract:
    Kikuchi's necrotizing lymphadenitis is a histologically alarming but self-limiting lesion typically affecting the cervical lymph nodes of young women. The authors report 2 cases of systemic lupus erythematosus with the finding of Kikuchi's disease on lymph node biopsy. Considering the common infectious and/or immunologic etiologies described in both disorders, coexistence of both conditions suggests the possibility that they share a common etiology.
