AB  - BACKGROUND: Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease with 
      unknown etiology. It usually manifests as a painless soft tissue mass or 
      subcutaneous nodule on one side of the patient's head and/or neck and rarely 
      affects multiple parts of the body. The disease is more common among young Asian 
      males. CASE PRESENTATION: A 57-year-old Chinese woman complained of multiple 
      masses on her body surface. Ultrasonography was used to examine the 
      retroperitoneal, bilateral neck, bilateral supraclavicular, bilateral axillary, 
      and bilateral inguinal superficial lymph nodes. Enlargement of multiple lymph 
      nodes was found in all areas. Many solid nodules were also found in the right 
      parotid gland and right posterior neck area, respectively. Numerous solid nodules 
      were seen on the left chest wall. Laboratory tests showed that the percentage of 
      eosinophils in the whole blood was 39.40%, total immunoglobulin E (IgE) level 
      was > 5000 kU/L, and serum special IgE to Phadiatop (inhaled allergens) and fx5 
      (food allergens) were 1.01 and 1.04 kUA/L, respectively. After a complete 
      examination, the masses located in the right neck, retroauricular and left 
      axillary regions, and left chest wall were resected directly. Postoperative 
      pathological findings revealed KD. CONCLUSIONS: The case discussed in this study 
      is extremely rare and did not meet the common affected areas and age 
      characteristics of KD. This presentation can be used to improve disease awareness 
      among physicians.
