Abstract

Kimura Disease (KD); is a very rare, benign, chronic inflammatory situation with an unknown etiology. KD, usually effects head and neck region of the body clinically. In very rare cases, KD can be seen as painless subcutaneous nodules or masses in the oral mucosa or other superficial lymph nodes. Making a diagnose of KD must include laboratory evaluations, imaging techniques and ruling out the other causes of lymadenopathy and eosinophilia with pathological evaluations. In our case, progressively enlarging regional lymph nodes over the past 5-6 months, widespread body pruritus and eosinophilia were the presenting clinical symptoms and laboratory findings. We aimed to present our KD case which was differantially diagnosed, in the context of current literature.

Özet

Kimura Hastalığı (KH); etiyolojisi bilinmeyen, çok nadir görülen, bening karekterli kronik inflamatuvar bir hastalıktır. Klinik olarak genellikle baş-boyun bölgesinde görülür. Çok seyrek olarak da oral mukozada, diğer yüzeyel lenf nodu bölgelerinde ağrısız subkutan nodül veya kitleler şeklinde bölgesel lenf nodlarının tutulumuyla seyredebilir. Tanı laboratuvar, görüntüleme ve patolojik incelemeler ile diğer lenfadenopati ve eozinofili nedenlerinin dışlanması sonucu konulur. Olgumuzda 5-6 aydır giderek artan bölgesel lenfadenopati, yaygın vücut kaşıntı şikayetleri ve eozinofili mevcuttu. Ayırıcı tanısı yapılan ve Kimura Hastalığı tanısı konulan olgumuzu literatür eşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık.
