Kimura Disease: A Case Report in an Unlikely age group
Abstract
Kimura disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. The disease is primarily seen in young Asian males and is characterized by painless subcutaneous swelling. It is often accompanied by renal involvement, predominantly manifesting as nephrotic syndrome. We describe a case of Kimura disease in a 69-year-old Indian male, presenting with left postauricular swelling. Clinical and histopathological characteristics are described along with a brief review of the literature.
