Abstract:
Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by slowly growing subcutaneous nodules in the face and the neck region. Although a concomitant hypercoagulable state can accompany KD, massive thromboses in patients with KD have rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of KD complicated with bowel infarction and multiple arterial thromboses in the upper and lower extremities. The patient underwent bowel resection and was successfully treated with corticosteroid and anticoagulation.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
