Abstract

Kimura disease is a rare, benign, chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. We report a 46-year-old man who presented with a cutaneous nodule behind his left ear. Surgical removal of the growth confirmed the histological diagnosis of KD. There was no recurrence found after 3 years follow-up.
