Abstract

We present the clinical and head and neck imaging findings in an adult male patient diagnosed with both Kimura disease (KD) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). These 2 rare diseases have distinct as well as overlapping clinical features and pathophysiological mechanisms, and their coexistence created a challenging diagnostic and therapeutic scenario. This case highlights the importance of considering overlapping features in complex immune-mediated conditions to establish an accurate diagnosis and formulate an appropriate management plan.

木村病和嗜酸性肉芽肿病合并多血管炎：两种免疫介导的疾病的临床和影像学重叠

我们报告一位诊断为木村病（KD）和嗜酸性肉芽肿病合并多血管炎（EGPA）的成年男性患者的临床和头颈部影像学表现。这两种罕见疾病具有不同的临床特征和重叠的病理生理机制，它们的共存给诊断和治疗带来了挑战。本病例强调了在复杂免疫介导疾病中考虑重叠特征的重要性，以建立准确的诊断和制定适当的管理计划。
