Kimura's disease (angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia) associated with ulcerative colitis

Abstract

We treated a 35-year-old Japanese woman who had Kimura's disease associated with ulcerative colitis. Kimura's disease is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disease considered to be of allergic origin based on the presence of eosinophilia and IgE hyperimmunoglobulinemia, and may be a manifestation of a systemic immunologic disturbance. Some immunological complications such as nephrotic syndrome have been reported in association with Kimura's disease, but the present case is the first associated with ulcerative colitis.
