Kimura disease is a benign rare chronic inflammatory disorder. Its primary symptoms are subdermal lesions in the head or neck or painless unilateral inflammation of cervical lymph nodes.[1]
The first known report of Kimura disease was from China in 1937, when Kimm and Szeto identified seven cases of the condition.[2] It first received its name when Kimura and others noted a change in the surrounding blood vessels and referred to it as “unusual granulation combined with hyperplastic changes in lymphoid tissue.”[3]
The cause of Kimura disease remains unknown.[1]
