Kimura's disease presenting with inguinal lymphadenopathy in an 11-year old girl: a case report

Vimal Kumar Nag et al. Trop Doct. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

Kimura's disease (KD), mostly seen in young Asian boys, typically manifests with subcutaneous lesions and cervical lymphadenopathy. It has a good prognosis and has no risk of malignancy. Inguinal lymphadenopathy is rarely reported as a presenting feature of KD. Here we report such a case of KD in an 11-year old girl. The diagnosis of KD was confirmed in this case by characteristic histopathological findings of the excised lymph node.

Keywords: Kimura disease; children; inguinal lymphadenopathy.
