AB  - Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory lymphoproliferative disorder of 
      unknown etiology and unsure pathogenesis. It primarily involves the head and neck 
      region, presenting as an asymptomatic unilateral soft-tissue mass in the head and 
      neck, frequently involving subcutaneous tissues, major salivary gland, lymph 
      nodes. Peripheral blood eosinophilia, elevated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) 
      levels, and the microscopically lymphoid proliferation with eosinophilic 
      infiltration are the characteristic features. We report a case of KD in a 
      22-year-old Indian male who presented with an asymptomatic parotid gland 
      enlargement with lymphadenopathy. The clinical presentation was suggestive of the 
      benign lesion but histopathology, as well as microscopic findings, allowed us to 
      make a definitive diagnosis of KD. The patient was treated with steroids and 
      antihistamine and showed no recurrence on follow-up.
