ABSTRACT
Kimura's disease is an uncommon chronic condition that often masquerades as a malignancy. It is reported predominantly in males of South-East Asia in their second and third decade of life. Most of the patients present with increased eosinophilia, follicular hyperplasia and high levels of IgE circulating in their blood. In this case, we report a patient of 29 years age who presented with complaints of left parotid and left post-auricular swellings. It was painless and growing gradually in size over the period of 8 years. It was asymptomatic during the whole period of the disease. Patient was diagnosed on histology and subsequent immunohistochemistry reports. Treatment in this patient included parotidectomy and lymph node dissection. It was followed by local radiation to prevent recurrence. It can be concluded that Kimura's disease may vary in its presentation but a few features remain characteristic. No reports of malignant change have been reported as of yet making its prognosis quite favorable for the patient. Surgery remains the choice of treatment but for more effective approach, it should be followed by radiation.
