Comparte ResumenLa enfermedad de Kikuchi-Fujimoto (EKF) es conocida como una linfadenitis necrotizante histiocítica, tiene una presentación benigna y autolimitada, afecta principalmente a mujeres jóvenes y generalmente resuelve sin tratamiento en los primeros seis meses de los síntomas. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 48 años quien consultó por un cuadro de dolor abdominal, mialgias y adenopatía cervical al examen físico. Se le encontró en los exámenes paraclínicos anticuerpos antinucleares 1:640, anti DNA de doble cadena asociado a consumo de complemento y anticuerpos anticardiolipina positivos. Se realizó biopsia de ganglio cervical que mostró necrosis cortical y población de histiocitos y linfocitos. Al iniciar el manejo con esteroides y cloroquina se comprobó mejoría franca y posteriormente la paciente fue dada de alta, continuando controles de manera ambulatoria por los servicios de reumatología y medicina interna.Palabras clave: Enfermedad de Kikuchi-Fujimoto, Linfadenitis necrotizante, Lupus eritematoso sistémico. AbstractKikuchi disease, also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, isa benign and self-limited condition that mainly affects young women andresolve without treatment within six months of symptoms.
