Abstract

Kimura’s Disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder which produces subcutaneous tumour-like nodules mainly in the head and neck region. In this disease, the common and specific features are intense aggregations of eosinophils and lymphocytes, vascular proliferation and fibrosis. In addition, it is often accompanied by peripheral blood eosinophilia and elevated plasma IgE levels. Our case is a 26 year-old man who had recurrent lesions on the left parotis region. Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia must be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Özet

Kimura Hastalığı, subkutan dokuda tümör benzeri nodüllerle seyreden, özellikle baş-boyun bölgesinde yerleşen kronik inflamatuvar bir hastalıktır. Lezyonların tipik ve sık görülen özellikleri, belirgin eozinofilik ve lenfositik infiltrasyon, vasküler proliferasyon ve fibrozistir. Ek olarak bu hastalık sıklıkla periferik kanda eozinofil artışı ve artmış serum IgE düzeyi ile birliktelik gösterir. Olgumuz 26 yaşında erkek hasta olup, sol parotis lojunda tekrarlayan lezyonları mevcuttur. Kimura Hastalığının ayırıcı tanısında öncelikle ‘eozinofili eşlik eden anjiolenfoid hiperplazi’ düşünülmelidir.
