Though surgery, intralesional or systemic steroids or radiation therapy have been the mainstay of treatment recurrence is a common problem. On the basis of occasional case report of Kimura's disease responding to cyclosporine, we attempted oral cyclosporine in our patient with dramatic improvement.
