Neoplastic
adenopathy at Virchow's node is a well-known indicator of abdominal malignancy [7].

A chest x-ray would be diagnostic, as the presence of bilateral hilar

All patients who presented with cervical lymph
adenopathy were included in the study.
Typical KD criteria include fever going on for more than 5 days, cervical
