ABSTRACT
Kimura disease is a relatively uncommon chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. Kimura disease occurs mainly in oriental young males. The majority of lesions occur in the head and neck and most patients have involvement of regional lymph nodes and major salivary glands. Although Kimura disease is similar to malignancy clinically and radiologically, it is benign disease showing good prognosis in only conservative management. So it is important to familiarize clinical, histological and radiological findings. We experienced a case of mass which developed on parotid gland of 40-year-old male. On impression of malignancy, total parotidectomy was performed. The Histological report was Kimura disease. There has been no recurrence during follow-up period of two years.
