AB  - Kimura's disease usually presents with benign painless soft tissue swelling 
      around the head and neck areas with eosinophilia and high immunoglobulin E (IgE) 
      levels. IgG4-related disease is characterized by fibrosis and sclerosis of the 
      involved organs, with infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells. There are some 
      similar clinical manifestations of these two diseases, with eosinophilia or high 
      IgE levels often found in patients with IgG4-related disease. However, the 
      relation between these two diseases is not well known. We report a 23-year-old 
      man who had multiple neck lumps for longer than 1 year. He had remarkable 
      eosinophilia and elevated serum IgE levels. Biopsy of his lymph nodes suggested 
      the diagnosis of both Kimura's disease and IgG4-related disease. In this article, 
      we discuss the relationship between Kimura's disease and IgG4-related disease. We 
      also suggest a possible model ("allergen-specific immunotherapy") to illustrate 
      our view that an increase in IgG4-positive plasma cells is an epiphenomenon of 
      Kimura's disease.
