Abstract

Kimura's disease (KD) is an immune‐mediated disorder which mainly affects Asian men. It appears as head and neck subcutaneous masses, with inflammatory infiltrate and elevated serum immunoglobulin E levels. The clinical presentation of KD resembles that of various diseases. Here, we report the case of a 30‐year‐old Filipino man with KD mimicking cavernous hemangioma who was treated by surgery. Careful survey for possible KD cases is crucial. Misdiagnoses are prone to futile interventions and unwanted effects. Surgery with adjuvant therapy is superior to other forms of KD treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
