Abstract:
Kimura's disease is a rare autoimmune disease of unrecognized etiology. Due to its unspecific clinical presentation and laboratory studies, Kimura's is a diagnosis of exclusion . A systematic multidisciplinary approach is mandatory to rule out the other common causes of cervicofacial lymphadenopathy. A thorough Histopathological examination including immunohistochemical analysis along with the presence of specific biochemical markers, including raised Absolute eosinophilic count is necessary to conclude the diagnosis as Kimura's Disease. In this article we present a case of a middle aged Asian woman with cervicofacial lymphadenopathy with no associated illness. The above described protocol of clinical, radiological and histolopathological investigations was followed before establishing the final diagnosis of Kimura's. The review of literature on contemporary management and prognosis is discussed.

Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
