Journal Title: BJKines-National Journal of Basic & Applied Science - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Kimura disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology primarily seen in young Asian males. It is a benign disease with an indolent course, gradually increasing in size over months or years. It usually presents as a mass lesion in the subcutaneous tissue of the head and neck region or major salivary glands area often associated with regional lymphadenopathy. In some cases lymph node enlargement is the only manifestation of the disease. It has no potential for malignant transformation. Spontaneous involution is rare. The main concern in this disease is its capacity to grow and cause disfigurement. We reported a case of a 16year old male who presented with bilateral cervical swelling and unilateral submandibular swelling. Specimen of one of the cervical swellings was received in histopathology department. Microscopy revealed there was reactive follicular hyperplasia with infiltration of giant cells of warthin-finkeldey type, eosinophils and vascular proliferation. Diagnosis of Kimura’s Disease was given on histopathology.
