Deskripsi

Kimura disease is a rare inflammatory disorder of unknown cause, primarily seen in young Asian males. The disease is characterized by painless subcutaneous swelling, blood and tissue eosinophilia. We describe a 37year old Asian male with Kimura disease who presented with multiple subcutaneous swelling. The diagnosis was based on the characteristic histopathologic findings after surgical excision in conjunction with peripheral eosinophilia.
