Abstract
- Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic angiolymphoid proliferative disorder of soft tissue with eosinophilia and elevated IgE levels, with predilection for head and neck in young oriental men. Renal disease is often associated with it. We describe a 16-year-old male with KD and steroid-responsive minimal change nephrotic syndrome. After surgical resection of cervical tumor and steroid therapy, complete remission of nephrotic syndrome and KD was achieved and there has been no relapse of tumor and nephrotic syndrome with normal IgE levels over 12 months.
