Spontaneous resolution of aortic dissection is extremely rare and only a few cases have reported. We report on the case of an elderly man who presented with DeBakey type III aortic dissection, which was resolved spontaneously over two years after antihypertensive treatment. We also discuss the possible mechanism and the role of conservative management.
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a histocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis of cervical lymph node, which is usually combined with tenderness and fever presents mainly in women in their thirties. KFD has been rarely associated with SLE and the microscopic features of KFD can be similar to SLE. We described the case of a young man, originally diagnosed as having KFD by lymph node histology, who subsequently developed SLE with a skin rash, oral ulcer, hematologic and immunologic disorder and high titer of ANA. We recommend study of sexual and age-specific differences in clinical progress of KFD, and a long-term follow-up evaluation is also needed.
