Kimuras Disease a case report
Abstract
Kimuras disease is a rare chronic inflammatory
disease that presents as a subcutaneous
mass in the head and neck region
often associated with regional cervical lymphadenopathy.
We report a case of Kimuras
disease in a 14yr male. who presented
with bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy.
The diagnosis was based on characteristic
histopathological findings in correlation
with peripheral eosinophilia and elevated
serum Immunoglobulin E levels. The histopathological
differential diagnoses have
also been discussed.
