Objective : Kimura's disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology prevalent in middle- aged Asian men. It usually involves deep subcutaneous tissues and lymph nodes of the head and neck region with frequent regional lymphadenopathy and/or salivary gland enlargement. We report histopathologic features of Kimura's disease and briefly review the literature. Method : Four cases of swellings in head and neck region were included in the study. Histopathological findings are reported. Results : Histopathologically characteristic findings were angiolymphoid proliferation and eosinophilia. Peripheral blood eosinophilia and raised ESR were the other findings. Conclusion : We report characteristic histologic findings in four patients with Kimura's disease.
