AB  - Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory condition of unknown 
      aetiology. It is a benign disease that might mimic a neoplastic process. It 
      primarily affects the head and neck region, presenting as deep subcutaneous 
      masses, and is often accompanied by triad regional lymphadenopathy, salivary 
      gland involvement, and high serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Here, we report 
      the second documented case of KD in Palestine diagnosed in a 28-year-old male 
      patient who presented with lymphadenopathy and increased serum immunoglobulin E 
      and G (IgE and IgG) associated with intermittent abdominal pain, generalised 
      fatigue, hepatomegaly, cardiomyopathy, reactive airway disease, peripheral 
      vasculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The 
      patient was managed with steroids and an immunosuppressant (Azathioprine) with a 
      moderate response for two years. In 2021, treatment with Mycophenolate Mofetil 
      was initiated, which was more effective than Azathioprine.
