Kimura disease is a rare idiopathic chronic inflammatory disorder. It typically presents in the head and neck area, whereas bilateral involvement is unusual. Its diagnosis requires it to be differentiated from other inflammatory diseases and from head and neck tumors. Treatment methods include conservative management, steroid administration, radiotherapy, and surgery; however, no single treatment of choice has been established. Herein, we report an unusual presentation of Kimura disease with bilateral parotid involvement. This case was treated by surgical excision.

“…Kimura disease (KD) is a rare benign, chronic, inflammatory disorder for which the aetiology is largely unknown [ 1 ]. It most commonly presents as painless lymphadenopathy and/or subcutaneous masses in the head and neck region in young males of Asian descent [ 2 ]. Rare and sporadic cases of KD have been reported in the Western hemisphere [ 3 ].…”

Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic, inflammatory, benign disorder endemic to Asia that typically manifests as a triad of painless masses in the head and neck region, elevated eosinophils and serum immunoglobulin. It usually affects young men in their second and third decades of life and is rarely seen outside of the orient. This is a report of a case of KD in a young man of African descent who presented with a cheek mass. KD was not included in our differential diagnosis, and this report highlights the need to consider this entity, which can be easily missed due to its rarity in the Western world. There is no cure for the disease, and management includes medical and surgical modalities, but local recurrence or relapse is not uncommon.

Kimura disease (KD) is a rare, idiopathic chronic inflammatory disorder that usually presents as unilateral painless lymphadenopathy or soft tissue swelling of the head and neck region in young Asian males. The disease lacks pathognomonic clinical and cytomorphological features and can be mistaken for many reactive and malignant conditions. We report three cases of KD presenting as bilateral swelling of the head and neck region, and describe the cytomorphological features of each. In the correct clinical setting, a polymorphous lymphoid aspirate with eosinophils and Warthin‐Finkeldey giant cells should raise a suspicion of KD and prompt further work up.
