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.

The diagnosis was based on the characteristic histopathologic findings after surgical excision in conjunction with peripheral eosinophilia. |
