Kimura’s disease (KD) is a benign rare chronic inflammatory condition. It usually presents as a mass lesion in the subcutaneous tissue of the head and neck region or in the major salivary glands, often associated with regional lymphadenopathy. Kimura’s disease seen in an endemic form in Asia but also in other parts of the world, including the United States and Europe. This condition is characterised by painless nodules beneath skin, elevated levels of eosinophils in the blood as well as in tissue with increased level of IgE. We report a case of Kimura’s disease in 26-year-old man who presented with swelling in postauricular area.
