          Abstract

          La enfermedad de Kimura es un trastorno inflamatorio que afecta principalmente a sujetos de origen asiático. Se manifiesta por la existencia de masas de tejido subcutáneo y subplatismal generalmente en la cabeza y el cuello. Suele acompañarse de linadenopatías, y aumento de los niveles de eosinófilos e IgE en sangre periférica. Comunicamos un caso de enfermedad de Kimura, descubierto en un varón caucasiano, tras una biopsia excisional de una masa cervical.

Commonly associated with increased levels of eosinophils and IgE in peripheral blood. We report a case of Kimura disease in a Caucasian, diagnosed after lymph node and submaxillary gland removal.

          Kimura's disease and angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia: clinical and histopathologic differences.

          There has been considerable controversy about the relation between Kimura's disease and angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE). We describe the clinical and histopathologic differences between the two diseases. We reviewed clinical findings and histopathologic changes in two cases of Kimura's disease and three cases of ALHE. Kimura's disease shows typical lymphoid follicles. It is associated with lymphadenopathy and is always accompanied by peripheral eosinophilia. ALHE shows typical changes in endothelial cells. It is characterized by superficial papules or nodules with no lymphadenopathy and is less frequently accompanied by peripheral eosinophilia. Kimura's disease and ALHE are separate entities.
