Eosinophilic granuloma (Kimura's disease) of the orbit: a case report

Abstract: This patient is unique in that he had no tumor at the first examination, only swelling of the rectus muscles, and a tumor mass appeared many years later. Unilateral swelling of the rectus muscles may be one of the first signs of Kimura's disease. Not only tumor but also swelling of the rectus muscles limited ocular movement.

“…The two conditions are distinguished based on histopathological appearance, with KD demonstrating capillary proliferation rather than proliferation of arterioles, venules, and capillaries (ALHE), and fewer follicles but more fibrosis than ALHE [207]. Within the orbit and adnexa, KD and ALHE present similarly, often with diffuse orbital mass, lacrimal gland involvement, and eyelid edema [208,[210][211][212][213][214][215][216][217][218][219][220][221].…”

“…Treatment for ALHE and KD consists primarily of surgical excision and debulking, which is usually curative with low rates of recurrence [211,212,214,215,218,220,221], even in patients with disease refractory to medical treatment [217]. However, in cases of incomplete excision, recurrence is more common.…”

“…Im Unterschied zu den bisher publizierten Fällen des Vorkommens der Kimura-Krankheit oder der ALHE in der Augenhöhle erkrankte unser Patient in höherem Alter ± in seiner 7. Lebensdekade [11,13,18]. Als selten kann das beiderseitige Vorkommen in den periokulären Geweben der Orbita betrachtet werden (mit topischem Zusammenhang mit der Tränendrüse), als auch die unilaterale Rezidive des Befunds (ohne topischen Zusammenhang mit der Tränendrüse).…”
