Abstract:
The presented case is a 43-year-old male with a painless mass in the right neck for two weeks. Excisional biopsy was performed under the clinical impression of malignant lymphoma, because he experienced lymphoma 32 months ago. Histopathologically, it shows hyperplasia of small blood vessels and lymphoid cells with eosinophilic infiltration, so it was diagnosed as Kimura's disease. This seems to be the first reported case of Kimura's disease developed during follow up period after remission of lymphoma.
