Abstract:
Kimura's disease is a rare, benign, slow-growing chronic inflammatory swelling with a predilection for the head and neck region and is almost always with peripheral blood eosinophilia and elevated serum IgE levels. It is endemic in Asian males and rare in Western people. Surgical excision of the lesion is the first line therapy. Drug and radiation therapy have to be considered for the refractory lesions.
