Kimura disease should be suspected when there are lymphoid masses or nodules in the head and neck, with subcutaneous cellular tissue involvement and regional lymphadenopathy, with minor inflammation and few systemic symptoms. It is usually associated with blood eosinophilia and elevated serum IgE. Even without treatment, it has a good prognosis, although recurrence is common. We present the case of a 66-year-old Caucasian male with a rapidly appearing laterocervical mass whose final diagnosis was made by biopsy. Biopsy showed mixed findings of Kimura disease and angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE), once thought to be the same disorder.
