Hystopathological aspects similar to those of Kikuchi disease in carbamazepine induced lymphadenopathy: Case report and review of literature

We describe a case of carbamazepine induced lymphadenopathy with a hystopathological picture similar to that of Kikuchi disease. This is a rare cause of benign lymphadenopathy of unknown origin. As far as we know such a connection does not exist in literature, although similar cases do. Kikuchi disease could therefore be more common than thought.
