Cervical-facial adenopathies in Odonto-stomatology: Study of 82 observations

Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the etiological profile of patients with cervical lymphadenopathy in relation to tuberculosis in our practice Odonto-stomatologique.Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective study over a period of four years at the University Hospital of Stomatology Odonto (CHU OS) Bamako. The successive cases of cervical lymphadenopathy of tuberculous origin confirmed by skin test (TST) to tuberculin 10 units or lymph node biopsy for histological referred. Data were collected from medical records and entered and analyzed with the software Epiinfo.fr 6.0Results: The lesions involved 82 patients including 37 men (45.1%) with a sex ratio of 1.21. The age group most represented was that of 20 and 29 years (28%). The anatomic region was privileged bilateral cervical (57.30%).Our patients underwent chest radiography in 90.20% of cases. The IDR was performed in 72% of patients and tuberculous lymphadenitis and follicular caseo was found in 8.50% of cases.Conclusion: Our study revealed a prevalence of 0.31% of cervical-facial adenopathies of which 80.50% was tuberculous. In the case of tuberculous endemic tuberculous adenopathy, an IDRT and anatomopathological examination of the lymph node biopsy should be systematic for the early management of tuberculosis

Necrotizing Lymphadenitis

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare benign condition also called histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis, which typically presented as fever with cervical lymphadenopathy in previously healthy individual. We presented a case of 11 year old boy with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy since 2 months. Lymph node biopsy was performed which suggested of KFD and was treated symptomatically. KFD incidence is rare but clinicians should be alert if young patient comes with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy to lower the chance of unwanted laboratory test and harmful treatment.

Serious Disease

Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a form of a benign necrotizing lymphadenitis which is most commonly misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and or lymphoma, usually more common among young adults in Asia. It is a benign disease but can mimic a lot of other disease processes spanning infectious, rheumatologic and even hematologic malignancies. Our patient presented with prolonged fever and lymphadenopathy. Initial considerations were lymphoma and a nonspecific viral infection. A CT scan showed diffuse cervical lymphadenopathy with lacrimal gland involvement. An excisional lymph node biopsy was done which revealed Kikuchi disease. Patient was given steroids with immediate response with defervescence. Kikuchi is a disease with many mimics and a complete workup is needed to exclude serious disease like malignancy.
