TI  - Successful treatment of Kimura's disease with leflunomide and methylprednisolone: 
      a case report.
PG  - 2219-22
AB  - Kimura's disease (KD) is an uncommon, chronic inflammatory disease characterized 
      by tumor-like lesions in the soft tissue and lymph nodes and increased peripheral 
      blood eosinophil counts and serum immunoglobulin E (IgE). Prednisone is widely 
      used to treat the disease. Here, we reported a 59-year-old KD patient failed to 
      response to prednisone. Leflunomide combined with methylprednisolone (Medrol) 
      were carried out to treat KD and encouraging outcome was obtained during the 
      medication and 1 year follow up period.
