Kimura's disease and its relation to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia: report of three cases and review of the literature

Y Iguchi et al. J Oral Pathol. 1986 Mar.

Abstract

Kimura's disease, eosinophilic granuloma of soft tissues, is a chronic inflammatory condition and appears as subcutaneous tumor-like nodules in the head and neck regions. Histopathologically, it is characterized by the presence of lymphoid follicles, marked infiltration of eosinophils, fibrosis and vascular proliferation. This disease occurring in the orofacial region is relatively rare, only 14 cases having been previously reported. We describe 3 additional cases of Kimura's disease and discuss these in relation to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia.
