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, predominantly 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.
