Key result
Multidisciplinary diagnostic approach successfully identifies Kimura's disease in a middle-aged Asian woman.
Why the study?
Kimura's disease is a rare autoimmune disease with unrecognized etiology and unspecific clinical presentation requiring diagnosis of exclusion.
Case Report (n=1)

Kimura's disease is a rare autoimmune disease of unrecognized etiology. Due to its unspecific clinical presentation and laboratory studies, Kimura's is a diagnosis of exclusion . A systematic multidisciplinary approach is mandatory to rule out the other common causes of cervicofacial lymphadenopathy. A thorough Histopathological examination including immunohistochemical analysis along with the presence of specific biochemical markers, including raised Absolute eosinophilic count is necessary to conclude the diagnosis as Kimura's Disease. In this article we present a case of a middle aged Asian woman with cervicofacial lymphadenopathy with no associated illness. The above described protocol of clinical, radiological and histolopathological investigations was followed before establishing the final diagnosis of Kimura's. The review of literature on contemporary management and prognosis is discussed.

Gurram et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Kimura's disease (n=1). Clinical, radiological and histopathological investigations was evaluated. A multidisciplinary diagnostic approach including clinical, radiological, and histopathological investigations successfully established the diagnosis of Kimura's disease in a middle-aged Asian woman.
