Abstract

Kikuchi disease is an uncommon, self-limited disease that mimics malignant lymphoma and tubercular lymphadenitis in presentation but with an excellent prognosis. We present a case of a 20-year-old Asian female with swelling at the angle of the mandible along with fever as a result of Kikuchi disease.
