Introduction. Any obvious lymphadenopathy should be given careful attention and thorough evaluation. With a spectrum of diseases presenting with lymphadenopathies, the clinical presentation, along with histo-pathological correlation, is important for the final diagnosis.
Case. We are presenting a case of symptomatic lymphadenopathy for 1 month in a middle-aged woman, who, on evaluation, was found to have Kimura disease, a chronic inflammatory condition with unknown etiology, on excision biopsy. The patient was initially treated with corticosteroids, causing the disappearance of lymph nodes and symptomatic improvement. After five months, she had a recurrence of symptoms on steroid tapering, which was managed with an increase in the dose of oral corticosteroids, leading to resolution of symptoms.
Conclusion. Kimura disease is a chronic inflammatory condition. Patients present with lymphadenopathy along with B symptoms.Surgery, immunosuppression and radiotherapy are treatment options.
