Key result
Histopathology confirms Kimura's disease in a female presenting with chronic postauricular swelling.
Why the study?
Kimura's disease is a very rare chronic inflammatory lymph node disorder in the Indian population that requires clinical awareness for diagnosis.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Highlights Kimura's disease as a rare differential diagnosis to consider in patients presenting with lymphadenopathy and eosinophilia or high IgE levels.
Supports Kimura's disease in lymphadenopathy differentials; single case leaves management questions open.
Kimura's disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the lymph node which is very rare in the Indian population. A 34-year-old female presented with left postauricular region swelling for the past 3 years at an outpatient department. On histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as KD. It should be kept in mind when treating a patient with lymphadenopathy and eosinophilia or a high immunoglobulin E level. This unique case report highlights this impressive clinical entity.
