Abstract | INTRODUCTION:
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) may have an autoimmune etiology and some cases have been associated with silicone breast implants. Cytomorphologic features of the disease have been well characterized by fine-needle aspiration of lymph nodes. They are so specific as to permit a precise cytologic diagnosis. Cytologic features have not been reported in fluid specimens. CASE: A 33-year-old female presented with a unilateral periprosthetic silicone breast seroma. The fluid was drained, and cytological analysis revealed numerous lymphocytes with no neutrophils, karyorrhectic nuclear debris, and peculiar histiocytes with eccentrically located nuclei showing a crescentic shape. Many of those histiocytes showed intracellular apoptotic debris. CONCLUSION:
