Abstract

Kikuchi disease of the iliac lymph node is rare, and even more rare is lymphadenitis with abdominal pain caused by Kikuchi disease. We report the US and CT findings of Kikuchi disease of the external iliac node in a 7 year-old-girl who complained of fever and abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant.

장골 림프절에 생기는 Kikuchi병은 드물고 더욱이 복통을 동반한 림프절염으로 발현된 경우는 더욱 드물다. 저자들은 발열과 좌하복부 동통을 주소로 한 7세 여아에서 외장골 림프절에 생긴 Kikuchi병을 경험하여 초음파와 CT 소견을 보고하고자 한다.
