Abstract:
This is a case of a 36-year-old male not known to have any medical illness complaining of left upper painless swelling in the eyebrow with no systemic symptoms, and normal physical examination apart from the eyebrow mass. Computed tomography (CT) of the head showed a well-defined hyperdense subcutaneous soft tissue lesion seen at the medial aspect of the left orbit (eyelid-extra orbital). Excisional biopsy of the eyebrow mass was done and sent for histopathological evaluation which reports consistent findings with Kimura disease (KD) as a definitive diagnosis.
