Abstract
- We present a case of a 37-year-old woman who had Kimura's disease involving the lower extremity mimicking malignant soft tissue mass. The diagnosis of Kimura's disease would be considered if there is a subcutaneous solid mass showing the preservation of the nodal architecture with perinodal infiltrations and the laboratoryexaminations for peripheral eosinophilia and serum IgE level should be recommended although it occurs at the lower extremity.
