Kikuchi disease was described in 1972 in Japan. It is also known as histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, Kikuchi necrotizing lymphadenitis, phagocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis, and necrotizing lymphadenitis.[1][2][3][4] Kikuchi disease occurs sporadically in people with no family history of the condition.[5]
It was first described by Dr Masahiro Kikuchi (1935–2012) in 1972[6] and independently by Y. Fujimoto.
