Abstract

Kimura disease is a rare, benign, chronic inflammatory disorder. Characteristic features of the disease include painless subcutaneous mass in the head and neck region, elevated serum eosinophilia and markedly raised serum immunoglobulin E. Herein, we report a case of Kimura disease in a patient who presented with a parotid mass and received both medical and surgical management. A course of high dose oral prednisolone and subsequently parotidectomy were the important elements of the management.
