Abstract

A 12 year old child developed primary unilateral cervical mass. Routine investigations were inconclusive except cosinophibilia. Excision biopsy revealed the diagonisis as Kimura's Disease. Retrospective investigations confirmed it. This disease should be suspected when a patient presents with tetrad of painless unilateral cervical lymphodenopathy. Eosinophilia, Hyperimmunoglobulimemia (††/gE) & Positive Candida Specific Antibodies. A flow chart has been drawn to treat this condition after review of literature.

Keywords: Candida specific Antibodies; Eosinophilia; Kimura’s.
