 note = {Kimura’s disease, a chronic inflammatory condition of unknown cause, is endemic in Orientals. The clinical
features of this disease include young and middle aged male predominance, predilection for the head and neck
regions and a long duration. The disease may present as single or multiple lesions, mainly involving subcutaneous
tissues, major salivary glands and lymph nodes in isolation or in combination. Histopathologically, the lesion is
characterized by hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue with well-developed lymphoid follicles, marked infiltration of
eosinophils, proliferation of thin-walled capillary venules and varying degrees of fibrosis. This paper reviewed the
current understanding of this disease and discussed its distinctions to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia
(ALHE).},
