Abstract
|
|
|
|
Kimura’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease with unknown etiology. The most common clinical presentation of Kimura’s disease is non-tender unilateral mass in the head and neck area, but bilateral involvement has rarely been reported. Histopathological confirmation should be taken for the diagnosis. Various management options are available, including surgical excision, steroid therapy, and radiotherapy. We report a male patient diagnosed as Kimura’s disease involving bilateral retro-auricular region. Simultaneous bilateral neck involvement is an extremely rare finding. For cosmetic reasons, the patient was treated surgically, with satisfactory postoperative results. When evaluating patients with mass lesion in bilateral parotid/retro-auricular area, Kimura’s disease should be considered as differential diagnosis.
