“…The main treatment for Kimura's disease is surgical removal of the mass and pathological examination, and continue treatment after surgery. According to previous literature, there are hormone therapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and treatment of ischemic vascular reconstruction (14,15). For those masses that cannot be completely removed, postoperative radiotherapy is more important.…”

Background: Kimura's disease is a rheumatic immune disease and head and neck lymph nodes are often involved. A mass occurring in the nasal forehead is rare. Good prognosis after surgical resection by glucocorticoid therapy is more rare.Case Summary: We report the rare case of a nasal forehead mass in a 45-year-old male patient with Kimura's disease. The patient underwent resection of the mass in October 2018 in a local hospital and the postoperative pathology was unclear. He then underwent a second resection in our department in December 2019 mainly because growth of the mass was affecting his appearance. Postoperative pathology confirmed that the patient had Kimura's disease, and he accepted systemic treatment with prednisone. We followed the patient for 10 months after surgery. He is now recovering well and continues to be closely monitored during follow-up.Conclusion: It is rare that the painless mass in the nasal forehead is diagnosed as a Kimura's disease.After completely resection of the mass and systemic treatment with prednisone, the patient had a good outcome. We provide experience for the treatment of Kimura's disease in nasal forehead.

“…However, the increased serum IgE level and eosinophilia suggest an allergic disease [1–4]. Despite an unclear mechanism, hypereosinophilia can lead to a hypercoagulable condition and vasculitis according to some published reports [5–7]. A possible mechanism is that the cytokines secreted by eosinophils, including eosinophil cationic protein, eosinophil peroxidase, and major basic protein, activate platelet aggregation.…”

“…However, KD has been treated with local mass excision, steroids for systemic inflammation, revascularization, and anticoagulation for organ ischemia [1,2,5]. Some researchers have reported that radiotherapy was a successful treatment for KD [4].…”

Kimura disease (KD) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. KD has many complications associated with hypereosinophilia, including various forms of allergic reactions and eosinophilic lung disease. Additionally, hypereosinophilia is associated with hypercoagulability, which may lead to thromboembolic events. A 36-year-old man with KD presented with acute limb ischemia and coronary artery occlusion. He underwent thrombectomy, partial endarterectomy of both popliteal arteries, and coronary artery stent insertion. KD is a systemic disease that affects many organs and presents with thromboembolism and vasculitis. In a patient with KD, physicians should evaluate the vascular system, including the coronary arteries.

“…Renal disease, nephrotic syndrome in particular, is present in up to 20% of patients with Kimura's disease [7]. Less commonly, several reports in the literature have linked Kimura's disease with a hypercoagulable state without associated nephrotic syndrome [8]. Less frequently, the orbit including the eyelids, conjunctiva, and lacrimal glands, paranasal sinuses, epiglottis, tympanic membrane, parotid gland, and parapharyngeal space may be involved [9][10][11].…”

Kimura's disease is a rare disorder of uncertain aetiology seen in Asian population, and presents as painless lymphadenopathy or subcutaneous masses in head-neck region. Peripheral eosinophilia, elevated levels of serum IgE, lymphoid proliferation and eosinophilic infiltration are its characteristic pathological features. We report a case of 40 year old male patient who presented with swelling behind right ear after successful ear surgery. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology and was treated by oral steroids.
