|
Kimura disease is a chronic idiopathic disease which is usually presented with lymphadenopathy or subcutaneous masses involving head and neck, frequently accompanied by peripheral blood eosinophilia and elevated serum Ig E level. A 52-year-old female presented with recurrent oral cavity lesions for 5 years. There was a 3 cm x 2 cm lesion on the right buccal mucosa which had white patchy areas surrounded by erythematous, vascular tissue. Histopathologically lymphocytes forming follicles surrounded by an inflammatory infiltrate with eosinophilia and fibrosis was observed. We report this case because the diagnosis was made histopathologically and it was seen in a female patient. |
