Kimura disease a case report

BARAN BARAN

Abstract


Kimura disease (KD) is a rare, benign,
chronic inflammatory disease with unknown
etiology. Its manifestation is protean.
Kimura disease has a predilection
for the head and neck area, and typically
presents as tumor-like lesions that could
be easily misdiagnosed. We review our
experience with our case.
