Key result
A young non-Oriental male presented with Kimura's disease and relapsing steroid-responsive minimal-change nephrotic syndrome, a unique presentation due to his origin and relapsing nephropathy.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights a rare presentation of Kimura's disease associated with relapsing minimal-change nephrotic syndrome in a non-Oriental male.
Alerts clinicians to rare Kimura's-minimal change link beyond Oriental ethnicity; leaves open causal association pending larger studies.
Kimura's disease (KD) is an angiolymphoid proliferative disorder of soft tissue with eosinophilia, with a predilection for head and neck regions in young Oriental men. Renal disease is rarely associated with it. We describe a young non-Oriental male with KD and relapsing steroid-responsive minimal-change nephrotic syndrome. This case of KD associated nephrotic syndrome is unique in the relapsing nature of the nephropathy and the non-Oriental origin of the patient. We comment on KD and nephrotic syndrome and on treatment strategy.

Atar et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Kimura's disease and nephrotic syndrome (n=1). A young non-Oriental male presented with Kimura's disease and relapsing steroid-responsive minimal-change nephrotic syndrome, a unique presentation due to his origin and relapsing nephropathy.
