“…The clinical manifestations described by the patient, such as cervical lymphadenopathy, night sweats, and asthenia, are consistent with literature reports (5). Similarly, being male aligns with typical demographics, although the age of presentation differs, as reports of this disease typically occur at younger ages (2). Likewise, the initial lymph node biopsy showed morphological ndings suggestive of a lymphoplasmacytic proliferative process commonly observed in this disease (6).…”

Introduction: Kimura disease is a benign, chronic, and rare entity. Its etiology and pathogenesis are unclear, posing challenges for diagnosis and management. The aim is to report the case of a Colombian patient with Kimura disease. Case Report: A 68-year-old male patient with no relevant medical history presented with a 6-month history of asthenia, night sweats, and bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. An excisional lymph node biopsy was performed, revealing atypical paracortical hyperplasia with a Ki67 proliferation index of 60% in the paracortical region and 100% in residual germinal centers, suggesting a reactive process consistent with Kimura disease. Discussion: This case highlights the importance of considering Kimura disease as a differential diagnosis in patients with symptoms consistent with this condition.
