Abstract
- Kimura's disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder with slowly enlarging subcutaneous masses. We report a case of Kimura's disease in a 33-year-old man who had such disease since childhood. He had asymptomatic variable sized, skin colored subcutaneous masses on the left cheek, both mastoid area, right epicanthus, and right parotid area. A biopsy specimen showed many lymphoid follicles with germinal center in dermis and a dense infiltration composed of small lymphocytes, plasma cells, histiocytes, and eosinophils. He was treated with triamcinolone intra-lesional injections(10 mg/ml).
