Popis: Kimura disease is a benign subcutaneous chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that is usually seen in young males. A 26-year-old Syrian adult, has suffered from focal segmental glomerulosclerosis for 10 years with no history of renal transplantation, complained of swellings in his preauricular area which was diagnosed as Kimura disease. There is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for Kimura disease and the chosen treatment was surgery in the young patient with localized lesions.
