Abstract
Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder with angiolymphaticproliferation of unknown cause.It
primarily involves the head and neck region, presenting as deep subcutaneous masses and is often accompanied by
regional lymphadenopathy, Peripheral blood eosinophilia and elevated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are
characteristic features and the microscopic picture reveals lymphoid proliferation with eosinophilic infiltration. We
report a case of Kimura's disease in a 30year-old male who presented with a Rightsubcutaneous mass and cervical
lymphadenopathy. Radiation therapy was performed for recurrence after surgical excision three times. The prescribed
radiation dose was 45 Gy, the patient was free of the disease.
