Kimura disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology, primarily seen in young Asians. The disease is characterised by painless subcutaneous swelling, blood and tissue eosinophilia and raised IgE levels. Kimura’s Disease has three components; cellular component showing lymphoid follicles with germinal centre hyperplasia with inflammatory infiltrate including increased eosinophils, plasma cells, and lymphocytes, surrounded by fibro collagenous and vascular stroma. Kimura disease is a disorder that involves the subcutaneous tissue of the head and neck regions. It is usually associated with regional lymphadenopathy and/or salivary gland involvement.
