Abstract :
Kimura disease (KD) is a rare benign chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology and pathogenesis. It is common in Asian population and affects mostly young adults in head and neck region.
Differential diagnosis of KD includes Kikuchi disease, Mikulicz’s disease and neoplasm like Hodgkin and non- Hodgkin lymphoma. A detailed clinical history along with radiological and pathological correlation is required for the correct diagnosis. Recurrence rate of Kimura disease is very high following any kind of treatment and routine follow up is mandatory. We present a case of KD in a 21-year-old Nepalese male.
