Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia With Eosinophilia (Kimura's Disease) of the Orbit

Kimura's disease: A case report and literature review

“…The deposition of immune complexes seen on immunofluorescence lends credence to the notion that this condition occurs secondary to immunological injury [5]. It is likely that environmental or exogenous agents [6] may incite an immune response. Atopic allergy to Candida albicans has been detected [5].…”

Kimura's disease of the lacrimal gland

“…In comparison, angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is more varied in its clinical, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical features (Helander et al 1995). 16 patients with orbital Kimura's disease have been reported in the English literature (Takenaka et al 1976;Amemiya 1981;Hidayat et al 1983;Smith et al 1988;Francis et al 1988;Sheren et al 1989;Kennedy et al 1992;Fu 1993), and three patients have been reported as or-bital ALHE (Bostad & Pettersen 1982;Cook & Stafford 1988;Archer et al 1991). In our patient, nodular subcutaneous masses were located in her head and neck, and elevated serum immunoglobulin IgE and peripheral blood eosinophilia were noted.…”

Kimura Disease of the Periorbita and Earlobe in a 15-Year-Old Male: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…Table 1 summarizes the clinical features of patients with periorbital KD. 3–38 The average age of patients was 31.9 years (standard deviation: 17.8 years). A total of 81.1% (30/37) of identified patients were male.…”
