AB  - Kimura's disease is a rare chronic inflammatory condition of uncertain etiology 
      which has an affinity for the Asian population. It primarily involves the head 
      and neck region, presenting as deep subcutaneous masses and is often accompanied 
      by regional lymphadenopathy and salivary gland involvement. Peripheral blood 
      eosinophilia and elevated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels are characteristic 
      features and the microscopic picture reveals lymphoid proliferation with 
      eosinophilic infiltration. For years, Kimura's disease was believed to be 
      identical to or part of the same disease spectrum as angiolymphoid hyperplasia 
      with eosinophilia (ALHE). Recent reports, however, have confirmed that the two 
      are, in fact, separate entities. We report a case of Kimura's disease in a 
      22-year-old Indian male who presented with a subcutaneous mass, parotid 
      enlargement and lymphadenopathy. The clinical presentation was suggestive of 
      Kimura's disease and microscopic examination following biopsy of the lesion 
      allowed us to make a definitive diagnosis.
