Abstract
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a rare benign cervical lymphadenopathy, which often affects young adult women. Its etiology and pathogenesis are unknown. We present the case of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease in the Polish population and analyse the difficulties in differentiating this disease from the systemic lupus erythematosus.
