Abstract
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is an uncommon disorder that usually presents in young adults of Asian descent with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. Clinically, this disease is often misdiagnosed as lymphoma or tuberculosis, and biopsy is needed for confirmation. The authors report an unusual case of KFD in a Hispanic male presenting with a subacute subdural hematoma, whose care was complicated by extranodal features not typically associated with KFD. The clinical, histopathologic, and radiographic manifestations of KFD are discussed.
