“…Clinical features are frequently observed as head and neck masses with eosinophilia. Kimura’s disease also has atypical site involvement of the hands (with or without nerve involvement), breast, buttocks, middle mediastinal mass, along with presentation of an intestinal mass 9–13. Regional lymphadenopathy with increased eosinophil counts is observed in 80%–99% of patients.…”

Kimura’s disease is a rare, benign entity that causes subcutaneous angioblastic lymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. It usually presents with subcutaneous lymphoid swellings with regional lymphadenopathy and salivary gland masses. Kimura’s disease is frequently associated with renal involvement, which includes proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome as the most common presentations. This report presents a case of a man in his early 20s with a swelling in the medial aspect of the distal left arm with two previous episodes of nephrotic syndrome. Multiple enlarged axillary lymph nodes and epitrochlear nodes were noted. Ultrasonography revealed a mixed echogenic mass with enlarged lymph nodes. MRI showed a heterogeneous hyperintense lesion. Image-guided fine-needle aspiration showed multiple lymphocytes and eosinophils suggestive of Kimura’s disease. The swelling was surgically excised under general anaesthesia. Histopathology of the excised mass confirmed the diagnosis of Kimura’s disease.

A 7-year-old Korean boy was referred for a nontender mass in the left arm. He had a 5-year history of a poorly defined painless mass on the medial side of the left elbow. The ultrasonogram of the left arm indicated an ill-defined, lobulating solid mass involving the deep soft tissue layer. The fat-suppressed T2-weighted magnetic resonance image showed a poorly marginated, homogeneous high-signal intensity mass. On further follow-up of 1 year and 6 months, the mass showed no change in size and nature. At surgery, a poorly demarcated inflammatory mass was dissected from a branch of the superficial radial nerve and excised completely. There was no recurrence and any dysfunction, except temporary localized hypoesthesia of the medial aspect of the left arm at the 3.6-year follow-up.
