AB  - Kimura's disease is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown cause. It is 
      endemic in Asia, affecting more number of males than females, with a ratio of 
      3:1. The typical clinical manifestations include a triad of painless unilateral 
      cervical lymphadenopathy or subcutaneous masses predominantly in the head and 
      neck region, blood and tissue eosinophilia, and an elevated serum immunoglobulin 
      E (IgE) levels. Variable conditions both benign and malignant may mimic Kimura's 
      disease both clinically and on fine needle aspirates. The confirmatory diagnosis 
      is established only by histopathological examination. We report a case of 
      Kimura's disease in a patient who underwent multiple investigations in view of 
      her past history and family history of pulmonary Koch's. Fine needle aspiration 
      cytology (FNAC) was performed thrice with consistently similar result of reactive 
      lymphadenitis with numerous histiocytes and eosinophilia. The final diagnosis of 
      Kimura's disease could finally be established only on histopathological 
      examination.
