Abstract
Kimura's disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the lymph node which is very rare in the Indian population. A 34-year-old female presented with left postauricular region swelling for the past 3 years at an outpatient department. On histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as KD. It should be kept in mind when treating a patient with lymphadenopathy and eosinophilia or a high immunoglobulin E level. This unique case report highlights this impressive clinical entity.
