Abstract
Kimura disease is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. Clinically, patients present nontender subcutaneous swelling in the head and neck region. Peripheral eosinophilia, an elevated serum IgE are also present. The clinical course of Kimura disease is often progressive, and the main problem with treatment is disease recurrence. Treatment options in the recurrent cases range from observation to surgical excision, steroid therapy, and radiotherapy. We report a case of recurrent Kimura disease, initially thought to be chronic submandibular sialadenitis, along with the appropriate review.
Key Words: Kimura disease, Kimura씨 병.
