Kimura’s Disease of the Pinna

Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by painless subcutaneous nodules and lymphadenopathy, commonly affecting the head and neck, particularly the parotid gland and postauricular region. Although adjacent soft-tissue involvement is uncommon, direct extension into the pinna has been reported. The disease is often associated with peripheral eosinophilia, elevated serum immunoglobulin E levels, and, in rare cases, renal involvement. We present a case of Kimura’s disease involving the pinna in a patient with a history of right superficial parotidectomy for the same condition a year earlier. The patient developed a recurrent swelling in the right pinna extending to the postauricular region. Surgical excision was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed Kimura’s disease. This case report discusses the rarity of the disease, its clinical course, and management considerations.
