ABSTRACT

Kimura’s disease is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that occurs mainly in young asian males. The typical clinical presentation of this condition is characterized by subcutaneous masses, pre-dominantly in the head and neck region. It often accompanied by regional lymphadenopathy, raised serum eosinophil counts and serum immunoglobulin E levels. Kimura’s disease is easily mistaken for malignant tumor. The diagnosis is confirmed by a biopsy. The optimal treatment remains controversial. The authors experienced a histopathologically confirmed Kimura’s disease that was preoperatively considered as a parotid gland tumor and made a report with a review of literature.
