AB  - Kimura disease is a rare, benign, chronic inflammatory swelling of the 
      subcutaneous tissue, lymph nodes, and glandular tissue. Characteristic features 
      of the disease include, but not limited to, painless subcutaneous head and neck 
      swelling, blood and tissue eosinophilia, and markedly elevated immunoglobulin E 
      (IgE) levels. Herein, we report a rare case of Kimura disease manifesting as 
      synchronous bilateral parotid swelling of 12 years duration in a 33-year-old 
      Middle-Eastern man. To our knowledge only few cases have been reported in the 
      literature involving bilateral parotid glands, and this is the first case to be 
      reported in the Middle East.
