Kikuchi's disease is an unusual disease, described in 1972, that is characterized by lymph node enlargement and fever. Cervical lymph nodes are affected so often that the ear, nose and throat specialist should be aware of this entity during differential diagnosis. Two cases treated in our service are reported and the literature is reviewed.
