Kimura disease (KD) is a rare, chronic proliferative condition presenting as a subcutaneous mass predominantly located in the head and neck region; it is characterized by eosinophilia and elevated serum IgE levels. IgG4-related disease (IgG4RD) is a fibroinflammatory condition characterized by swelling in single or multiple organs and the infiltration of IgG4 plasma cells. Herein, we presented two cases. Case 1 is a 38-year-old man with a painless mass in his right postauricular region, and Case 2 is a 36-year-old man with painless lymphadenopathy in his bilateral postauricular region. After surgical excision, they showed good recovery with no relapse. Although Cases 1 and 2 shared several overlapping pathological manifestations, there were a few differences that allowed the differentiation of KD and IgG4RD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
