The purpose of this presentation is to rectify a shortfall in available literature describing this disease. This case study describes a 42-year old Caucasian woman who presented with a unilateral neck swelling and describes etiology, ultrasound appearances, cytology, diagnosis and treatment. Method: - Ultrasound examination was performed in the region of concern using a Canon (Toshiba) XG unit and 12 MHZ linear array transducer. - Transverse, longitudinal and hilar measurements of the enlarged lymph node were documented. Borders, internal echogenicity and architecture was assessed. Power Doppler was utilized to assess vascularity. - Insonation of the entire neck was performed looking for evidence of additional abnormal lymph nodes or malignancy. - Ultrasound appearances were compared with common lymph node pathology. - Ultrasound guided FNA was performed as was surgical excision in an effort to achieve diagnosis. Results: Ultrasound Appearance: - A single enlarged hypoechoic lymph node with cystic components, lobulated cortex and hyperemic hilar flow was identified in the left anterior triangle (segment 11A). Differential diagnoses of Lymphoma, TB and cat scratch disease were suggested by ultrasound appearances. Conclusion: - FNA results were inconclusive. - Definitive diagnosis of Kikuchi disease was achieved only with excisional node biopsy. Take Home Messages: Consider Kikuchi disease as an ultrasound differential diagnosis for enlarged lymph nodes. Definitive diagnosis of Kikuchi disease can only be made by excisional node biopsy.
