Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare entity of uncertain cause which commonly presents as a lymphoadenopathy unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Although usually it follows a benign self-limited course KFD has been repeatedly misdiagnosed as lymphoma. With this new case data about the etiology and clinical trend of KFD are added. Review of the literature.

A few cases have been reported wherein an exophthalmos can be induced voluntarily and spontaneously. In most cases these have been due to the protrusion of the eye by pressure from behind by blood or air. In many of these cases relaxation of the fascial supports and atrophy of the orbital tissue make enophthalmos alternate with the protrusion. A dehiscence of the medial orbital wall or the establishment of emphisema may also produce a voluntary proptosis, the eye being propelled forwards by air when the intranasal pressure is voluntarily raised. We present here two cases of this peculiar complication of ethmoidal disease, discussing several aspects from the etiology and differential diagnosis of this condition.
