Abstract:
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (Kimura`s disease) is a pathologic term, given to a lesion starting usually as a papule or a cluster of papules in the skin of the head, neck and elsewhere of adults. This lesion is as extraordinary in its behavior as it is in its histology. Histologically, the characteristic features include abnormal vascular proliferations due to the growth of atypical histiocytic cells as the common dominator for all of these lesions. These lesions were apparently benign and can usually cured by surgical excision, adrenocorticosteroids and irradiation. Spontaneous remission also occurs. Herein, We report a case of this rare entity involving scrotum, reviewing the similar descriptions in western literature under various different headings.
