If You Find Your Name In Your Friend List Has Your Account Been Hacked?

There is a message going around on facebook that says if you can find yourself in your friend list,that your account has been hacked! I found my name in my friend list and removed it, but when I went back into my friend list I was still there. I'm I supposed to show up on my own friend list?? Or has my account been tampered with?
