we had a case of right parotid swelling, misdiagnosed as malignancy.Excision of lymph node revealed the diagnosis of Kimura's.
Conservative surgical excision has been considered the treatment of choice for Kimura disease.Recurrence after surgery is frequently observed.
Kimura's disease is a benign rare chronic inflammatory disorder. Its primary symptoms are subdermal lesions in the head or neck or painless unilateral inflammation of cervical lymph nodes.Kimura's disease is said to be predominantly seen in males of Asian descent. However, a study of 21 cases in the United States showed no racial preference, of 18 males and three females (male/female ratio 6:1), 8 to 64 years of age (mean, 32 years), there were seven Caucasians, six Blacks, six Asians, one Hispanic, and an Arab.
