[Kimura's disease. Demonstration of the disease and its differential diagnosis]
Abstract
From several own cases and case-reports from the literature the clinical and histopathological picture of Kimura's disease and its etiopathogenesis are reported. The recently reported "subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia" of Wells and Whimsper corresponds to the solitary or localized variant of Kimura's disease. The differential diagnosis of recently described analogous diseases is considered.
