Seven Patients with Kimura's Disease, i.e. Eosinophilic-granuloma

We report clinical examinations of seven cases of Kimura's disease. Six patients were male and one patient was female. Patient ages ranged from 6 to 57. Three patients complained of swelling in the parotid region, two patients in the submandibular region, one patient in the zygomatic region and one patient in the cervical region. All patients demonstrated remarkable increase of eosinophils and serum IgE. Six patients were treated with medication and one patient was treated with surgical excision followed by radiation therapy. It is important to select an adequate method of treating Kimura's disease considering the benefits and limitations of various treatment methods.
