Abstract
|
|
|
|
Kimura’s disease is a mass producing uncommon chronic inflammatory process of unknown cause. It is more common among Orientals and affects particularly the young male. Sites of predilection include the head and neck regions, primarily the subcutaneous tissue and dermis. It’s clinical course is benign in nature. The treatment modalities for this disease are surgical excision, steroid therapy and radiation therapy. We experienced a case of soft tissue mass in the right upper arm. It was painless and relatively movable. We performed marginal excision of the mass, which was turned out to be Kimura’s disease on microscopic examination. In this case, disease recurrence was not found fifteen months after the operation.
