Warthin-Finkeldy cells are multinucleated giant cells having an appearance akin to “Grape-like clusters” or “Mulberry.” These are large cells enclosing multiple, round, regular-sized nuclei having inconspicuous nucleoli. These cells were described in the same year (1935) by contemporaries Warthin and Finkeldy in the tonsils of children suffering from measles.[1] These cells are seen in enlarged lymph nodes associated with conditions such as measles, Kimura, systemic lupus erythematosus, and human immunodeficiency virus. These cells have shown to have a T-cell immunophenotype. We report a case of bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy where the presence of Warthin–Finkeldy cells on fine needle aspiration cytology proved to be a soft indicator of Kimura disease.
