“…There are several differential diagnosis of Kimura disease when it is confined to the nose, which include angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), tuberculosis, Kaposi sarcoma, eosinophilia granuloma, epitheliod hemangioma and angiofollicular hyperplasia [12]. Differential diagnosis between Kimura disease and ALHE has been a challenge.…”

Introduction: Kimura disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the subcutaneous tissue. It is of unknown etiology mainly occurring in head and neck region. Case report: A 34-year-old Malay lady presented with a gradually enlarging, painless right nasal bridge mass for one year duration. Clinical examination revealed a firm, immobile swelling measuring 2 cm x 2 cm. Nasal endoscopy showed no extension of the mass into the right nasal cavity. Surgical excision was performed where histopathological examination reported as finding consistent with Kimura disease. Conclusion: Kimura disease is extremely a rare benign disease, which can affect the head and neck structures. Manifestation at the nasal region is an extremely rare occurrence. Histopathological examination is needed to diagnose the disease.

Eosinophilic hyperplastic lymphogranuloma, also known as Kimura disease, is a benign and chronic inflammatory condition, predominantly involving the head and neck region. Surgical excision, radiotherapy (RA), surgical resection combined with low-dose postoperative radiotherapy and oral corticosteroids are 4 treatment modalities reported to control this disease effectively. Local recurrence, however, is common and the optimum treatment for Kimura disease is controversial. Thus, the present meta-analysis was performed to identify the treatment modality associated with the lowest local recurrence. Electronic databases (Cochrane Library, Wiley Online Library, PubMed, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data) were searched. Data were also obtained from other sources such as related references and communication with the relevant authors. Two reviewers screened the literature according to preselected criteria. All studies involving different treatments for Kimura disease were collected. After data extraction and research quality assessment, the meta-analysis of 22 studies involving 570 patients was conducted using STATA 12.1 software. Meta-analysis revealed that administration of RA or surgical excision alone were inferior in controlling local recurrence compared with surgical resection combined with postoperative RA (risk ratio (RR) = 2.72; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.47-5.04 and RR = 4.72; 95% CI, 2.53-8.82). Surgical excision alone did not show significant advantage in controlling local recurrence compared with RA alone (RR = 2.13; 95% CI, 0.88-5.17). Surgical resection combined with postoperative RA is superior to either surgery or RA alone in treating Kimura disease. More large scale prospective randomized controlled trials, however, should be conducted to assess the long-term effects and safety issues.
