Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of uncertain cause, manifesting commonly as a painless swelling of the subcutaneous tissue in the head and neck region with predilection for peri auricular areas. A significant increase in serum levels of immunoglobulin E and eosinophilia in the peripheral blood and in tissues has been associated with this disorder. Many cases of nephropathy in patients with Kimura’s Disease had been reported in the literature. Excisional biopsy for histopathological evaluation is the only way to confirm the diagnosis of Kimura’s Disease. We report a case of Kimura’s disease in a 26-year- old female patient who presented to our clinic with painless right retro-auricular swellings.

Kimura’s disease is an uncommon inflammatory disorder of unclear aetiology, mainly affecting young Asian descent males among their second and fourth decades of life. The disease typically emerges as a long-standing and painless subcutaneous mass lesion in the head and neck region, frequently associated with swelling of major salivary glands, particularly the parotid gland, and regional lymphadenopathy. Peripheral eosinophilia and high serum immunoglobulin E are also characteristic findings. We report a case and describe the imaging and pathological features of the disease in a 19-year-old Caucasian male, with review of the literature.

Kimura's disease is a rare, idiopathic condition that usually affects young men of Asian descent. The disease is characterized by swelling and lesions in the head and neck region, with involvement of the subcutaneous soft tissue, major salivary glands, and lymph nodes. Patients almost always have eosinophilia and elevated serum immunoglobulin E levels. The diagnosis is established by biopsy. Kimura's disease is usually self-limiting. Its etiology is unknown but is thought to be a manifestation of an aberrant allergic response. In this paper, we describe the case of a 30-year-old patient who was diagnosed with Kimura's disease at our institution.

Disease Case

AbstractKimura's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease which often presents as a tumour-like swelling in the head and neck region with or without lymphadenopathy. Most cases have been described predominantly in Chinese and Japanese people. The lesion is benign, but it may easily be mistaken for a malignant tumour. Kimura's disease has been confused with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), from which it probably should be distinguished as a separate entity. The diagnosis may be suggested by a fine needle aspirate, but is established by a biopsy. The treatment of choice is surgical removal.A case of Kimura's disease in a Caucasian male of 12 years' duration is presented together with a brief review of the literature.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;" align="JUSTIFY">Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, presenting as painless subcutaneous nodules with lymphadenopathy and peripheral eosinophilia, mainly disturbing the head and neck region. It mainly affects Asian males in their 2nd to 4th decade of life. Kimura’s disease, although difficult to diagnose clinically, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients who have a primary lymphadenopathy with eosinophilia with or without subcutaneous nodules. It should be investigated accordingly as the disease has an indolent course and good prognosis. Herein we report two cases of Kimura’s disease, of which one had unusual site of involvement. </p>

Chronic Inflammatory Disorder

Kimura’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving subcutaneous tissue and locoregional lymph nodes of head and neck region, characterised by angiolymphoid proliferation. It is typically associated with peripheral eosinophilia, increased serum IgE and lymphadenopathy. Diagnosis is usually based on histopathological examination. Though various treatment modalities have been put forward, surgical management remains the first line of treatment, followed by systemic steroids application. This case report discusses the diagnostic dilemma and therapeutic management of a rare clinical presentation and management of oropharyngeal Kimura’s disease in a young immunocompetent woman.

AbstractNecrotizing fasciitis (NF) is part of the class of necrotizing soft tissue infections characterized by rapid fascial spread and necrosis of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and superficial fascia. If left untreated, NF can rapidly deteriorate into multiorgan shock and systemic failure. NF most commonly infects the trunk and lower extremities, although it can sometimes present in the head and neck region. This review provides an overview of NF as it relates specifically to the head and neck region, including its associated clinical features and options for treatment. Noma, a related but relatively unknown disease, is then described along with its relationship with severe poverty.

Reactive Hyperplasia

Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder present in 2nd and 3rd decade. It has a predilection for head and neck region presenting as a slowly growing painless swelling. It is usually accompanied by peripheral eosinophilia and elevated serum IgE and hence it was initially thought to be of allergic origin. Histologically the lesions are characterized by reactive hyperplasia of lymph nodes, eosinophilic infiltration and increase in postcapillary venules. Authors have reported a male patient with a slowly growing right sided neck swelling which is recurring even after course of steroids and excision done twice at an interval of 6 months. Kimura’s disease although a benign Lymphoid disorder but the incidence of recurrence despite taking treatment is a cause of much concern for the patient.

Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Kimura’s disease is a rare, benign, chronic inflammatory disorder characterised by its eosinophilic infiltrate. Patients often present with one or more progressively enlarging subcutaneous lymph nodes in the head and neck region or enlarging salivary glands. We describe the case of a 26-year-old man presenting with severe peripheral eosinophilia and upper airway inflammatory symptoms, who later developed cervical lymphadenopathy and formally diagnosed with Kimura’s disease. Based on our English-language MEDLINE literature search, to our knowledge this is the first case report describing treatment of Kimura’s disease with mepolizumab.

History Of

Epithelioid hemangioma is a rare benign vascular lesion that presents as a nodular lesion in the skin of head and neck region. It is a superficial vascular entity which can either be due to tumor or reactive lesion, but the exact etiology is still unknown. We hereby present a rare case which has been reported with the history of small nodular-like growth on mandibular buccal and lingual area. The excisional biopsy was performed and tissue was submitted for histopathological diagnosis. The immunohistochemistry was performed to check the expression of CD31 marker which proved that origin of epithelioid cells was vascular.
