Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self-resolving disease, which typically presents with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Histopathology is essential for its diagnosis. KFD is confirmed to be associated with multiple conditions, including autoimmune and infection. We present a Thai girl with cutaneous lesions, of which histopathology is compatible with KFD, without lymphadenopathy, thus the patient is diagnosed with Kikuchi disease-like inflammatory pattern.
