Abstract
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign, self-limiting disease, with a specific histopathology. It can be diagnosed clinically,
and specific symptoms include fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. The histological finding of KFD in cervical lymph nodes
includes necrotizing lymphadenitis. KFD needs conservative treatments. If KFD persists for a long period, steroids or nonsteroidal
antiinflammatory drugs can be used to control symptoms. Previous studies have reported the treatment of KFD with hydroxychloroquine
(HC) in patients unresponsive to steroids. Herein, we report a case of a 25-year-old female patient diagnosed
with KFD unresponsive to steroids, and was successfully treated with HC.
