Abstract
- PURPOSE
Kimura's disease is an uncommon, chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology which occurs predominantly in Orientals and presents with tumor-like swellings mainly in the head and neck region. Orbital and ocular adnexal cases are rare. We report a case of Kimura's disease of the eyelid. METHODS: A 52-year-old male presented with a 10-year history of intermittently recurrent swelling and a painless mass of the left upper eyelid. The mass was resected and biopsied for histological examination. RESULTS: The case was diagnosed with Kimura's disease by the clinical and histopathologic findings.
