Introduction: Kimura’s disease is a very rare chronic inflammatory pathology of unknown etiology. It is actually an allergic or autoimmune reaction process involving blood vessels, lymphocytes and eosinophils. Observation: We report a case of Kimura disease with cervical localization in a 37-year-old Patient who saw the appearance of a swelling of the right parotid region evolving for 1 year. The patient benefited from a total right parotidectomy with homolateral selective curage and the anatomopathological study of the tumoral piece came back in favor of Kimura’s disease. The evolution was good. The regression is one year without recurrence. Discussion: Kimura’s disease is characterized clinically by subcutaneous nodules of cervicofacial localization, increased volume of salivary glands and satellite adenopathies. Its diagnosis is histological based on the identification of follicular hyperplasia with eosinophilic polynuclear abscesses. Treatment is surgical most often but in some cases corticotherapy is proposed.
