ABSTRACT
Kimura's disease is a rare inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology primarily seen in young Asian males. The disease is characterized by a triad of painless subcutaneous masses in the head and neck region, blood and tissue eosinophilia, and markedly elevated serum immunoglobulin E (Ig E) levels. Clinically the subcutaneous nodules occur predominantly in the head and neck region of young males. However, we report the case of a 60 year old male presenting with mesenteric lymphadenopathy diagnosed with Kimura's disease.
