Abstrakt: Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder, which is quite rare and has an unclear and much debated etiology. KD is characterized by painless, nodular, subcutaneous swellings along with lymphadenopathy, encountered in the head and neck region more often. It is also known to affect major salivary glands. It is also associated with elevated Immunoglobulins (IgE) and peripheral blood and tissue eosinophilia. Kimura disease generally affects young Asian males. There is considerable difficulty in arriving at clinical diagnosis and often it is frustrating to both patients and the treating physicians because of the difficulty in its management. We are presenting and reporting a case of Kimura disease in a young adult Indian female patient who presented with a swelling in the left parotid region. We have successfully managed this patient medically with a unique combination of drugs, most of which have already been tried and reported in literature by various authors.
