- Abstract: Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, commonly presenting with painless lymphadenopathy and subcutaneous masses in the head and neck regions.1 However, presentations with inguinal lymphadenopathy are rare and mimics other differentials, may pose a diagnostic challenge. We present a case of a 50-year-old male, with right inguinal swelling for one month duration that was finally diagnosed with Kimura’s Disease after a multitude of investigations to rule out differentials of lymphadenopathy, delaying conclusive treatment.
