TI  - Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus onset preceded by Kikuchi-Fujimoto 
      disease.

AB  - Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is an uncommon clinicopathological entity 
      characterized by fever and lymphadenopathy, predominantly involving cervical 
      lymph nodes, accompanied by chills and leukopenia. The diagnosis relies primarily 
      on the presence of typical morphological features in the swelling lymph nodes. 
      KFD can occur as a benign and self-limiting lymphadenopathy, but it can 
      sporadically precede, postdate or coincide with the diagnosis of systemic lupus 
      erythematosus (SLE). The authors report a case of subacute cutaneous lupus 
      erythematosus (SCLE) in a 42-year-old female preceded by prolonged fever, anemia, 
      leukopenia, and cervical necrotizing lymphadenopathy. About two months later, the 
      patient developed facial and scalp plaques suggestive of lupus skin disease. 
      Histologic and immunologic investigations lead to the diagnosis of SCLE. It is 
      not clear whether KFD associated with lupus skin disease are true KFD or a 
      histopathologic feature of SLE.
