Objectives: Kimura disease (KD) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease
of unknown cause characterized by painless subcutaneous swellings and
lymphadenopathy commonly affecting the head and neck region. KD is
usually confused for Angio lymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia and
is associated with eosinophilia and increased serum IgE.
Case: Our patient, a 44-year-old Mongolian male, the swelling was
painless, pruritus. Due to severe itching in the left parotid area,
with multiple red-pinkish bumps, scratches, and scars. Localized
examination, a 3 cm ¡¿ 4 cm was seen in the left parotid region. Facial
asymmetry was maintained with normal facial nerve functions.
Hematological examination revealed Neutrophils 31.1% and Eosinophils
36.6%. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography, which revealed multiple
intra-parotid lymph nodes in the superficial lobe of the left parotid
gland with an enlarged parotid gland but normal parotid parenchyma. The
surgical specimen received consisted of brown-tan hardish tissue,
measuring 5.2 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm. Many germinal centers of lymphoid
follicles exhibited necrosis with protein debris, diffuse infiltration
of eosinophils, and eosinophilic abscess formation. Based on those
findings, the diagnosis of Kimura¡¯s disease was confirmed.
Conclusions: Kimura disease is a benign disease that mainly affects
Asian men in their forties. KD should be included in the differential
diagnosis and further explored. Histopathology is usually needed for a
definitive diagnosis. |
