The Value of Imaging Diagnostics in the Kimura’s Disease

Kimura’s disease (KD) is a benign chronic inflammatory disease of subcutaneous tissue of unknown etiology. Although it is regularly reported and is now clearly defined, it still constitutes a diagnostic challenge, as its resemblance with benign and malignant diseases can make the diagnosis difficult, requiring the skills of experienced pathologists. We report here our experience with Kimura’s Disease, presenting two cases of female patients from Saudi Arabia with the pathology located within the orbit who were successfully treated surgically at Claros Clinic. Afterwards we review the literature on the subject and discuss diagnostic process with particular emphasis on imaging diagnostic and treatment options to improve our understanding of this mysterious disease.
