Kimura’s disease is a benign inflammatory disease generally involving the head and neck region. It is characterized by lymphoid follicular hyperplasia with prominent germinal centers and eosinophilic infiltrates in the inter follicular region and proliferation of post capillary venules. Peripheral blood eosinophilia and elevated serum Ig E are seen in most of the cases. A 21 year male patient came with a subcutaneous swelling beneath the left eyebrow. Differntial count showed neutrophils 69%, lymphocytes 15%, eosinophilis 10% and monocytes 6%. ESR was 14 mm/hour. The serum IgE levels were 492.5 IU/ml. Histo pathological examination revealed hyperplastic lymphoid follicles of varying sizes with reactive germinal centers and well formed mantle zones. We report a rare case of Kimura presenting in the subcutaneous region of the eyebrow.
