[Lymphangiomatous hyperplasia with eosinophilia; Kimura's disease (author's transl)]

Kimura's disease is a benign affection of young people in which there are non-specific subcutaneous nodules, mainly found in the region of the head. They can be identified by their particular histological appearance which includes vascular and inflammatory components, and by local and sometimes blood eosinophilia. The etiology is not known but could be allergic in nature.
