Kimura’s disease (KD) is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology, which commonly affects men of the Asian race. Here, we present a case capsule of a 39-year-old man with KD of the left cheek, managed initially by surgery alone. He developed local recurrence after 6months and was treated with steroids and isotretinoin. Eventually, steroids were discontinued due to toxicity and the lesion progressively increased in size. The patient was successfully treated using intensity-modulated radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost as a primary modality with minimal adverse effects. The patient has good local control and cosmetic outcome with no radiation-related toxicity at a follow-up period of 28 months. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
