Abstract:
Kimura disease presents as benign lesion and is commonly present among the Asian population. It
is a disease with a favourable prognosis and a peak age of onset in the third decade. It is a chronic
inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology that involves the lymph nodes and subcutaneous
tissues of the head and neck region. We report a case of a 15-year-old boy with multiple Kimura
lymphadenopathies involving the left posterior auricular region as well as the anterior and posterior
triangles of the neck.
