Abstract :In this report, we inform you that a patient with CFD, known as a benign disease, died due to massive lower GI bleeding. Although KFD is a benign disease, we have seen in this case that it can result in death. A 28-year-old Turkish male patient was brought to the hospital with complaints of high fever, fatigue, sweating and difficulty breathing. A cervical examination revealed that the patient had lymphadenopathy. The patient did not have any cutaneous lesions. Genital examination revealed melena. A normal cranial and abdomen, thorax CT was obtained. The patient was intubated because of respiratory failure and unstable hemodynamics. The patient developed pancytopenia as a result of blood tests. The patient died due to massive lower gastrointestinal bleeding.Keywords : Kikuchi–Fujimoto Disease, Lower Gastrointestinal Bleeding, , Histiocytic Necrotizing Lymphadenitis
