Abstract
|
|
|
Kimura's disease, a disease of unknown origin, is a chronic inflammatory disorder presenting with a triad of painless soft tissue masses, regional lymphadenopathy and peripheral eosinophilia but sometimes with pain and tenderness. There are
solitary or
multiple soft tissue masses or subcutaneous nodules on the head and neck in most cases. Kimura's disease usually occurrs in younger asian men and has regional localization, but renal manifestations may be the only visceral localization of the
disease.
We experienced a 38-year-old female patient with much frequently relapsing Kimura's disease once per month and renal disease, so we report this case with the current literatures.
