Cervical Lymphadenopathy has a large list of differential diagnosis. In India, Tuberculosis and Malignant Neoplasms are the most common specific causes for cervical lymph node enlargement. Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (KFD), is an uncommon but increasingly reported cause, especially in Asia. Awareness of this condition amongst physicians leads to an accurate diagnosis without the need for expensive and often potentially harmful investigations. The disease is self limiting and responds well to symptomatic treatment.
