Mitera General Hospital of Athens, Greece

twenty-seven year old female without significant

past medical history presented with a swollen,

painful lymph node in the posterior auricular area for the

past twomonths. Initially she was treated with antibiotics

for otitis or other non specific ear inflammation without

any improvement. The patient continued having

lymphadenopathy and eventually she was hospitalized

for further investigation. Imaging studies, infectious

diseasework-up and hematological work-up did not show

any abnormal findings . Finally, lymph node excision and

biopsy was performed which revealed Kikuchi disease.
