      male: a case report and review of literature.

AB  - Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder that involves the 
      subcutaneous tissues and occurs predominantly in the head and neck region, 
      frequently associated with regional lymphadenopathy or salivary gland 
      involvement. Although, not an uncommon condition in the Asian countries, it is 
      quite rare among the occidental civilization and in the western countries is more 
      commonly diagnosed among Asian migrants. Kimura's disease is sometimes confused 
      with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, which occurs in the superficial 
      skin of the head and neck region. The classical features of angiolymphoid 
      hyperplasia with eosinophilia are characterized by a triad of painless 
      subcutaneous masses in the head and neck region, blood and tissue eosinophilia, 
      and markedly elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Here, we report a case of a 
      33-year-old Indian male with KD who presented with unilateral nodular swelling in 
      the right parotid region. The diagnosis was based on characteristic 
      histopathologic findings in conjunction with peripheral eosinophilia and elevated 
      serum IgE levels.
