경부에 발생한 기무라씨병 1례
A Case of Kimura's disease
초록
Kimura's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease which often presents as a tumor like swelling in the head and neck region. This lesion is benign but it may easily be mistaken for a malignant tumor. Kimura's disease has been confused with angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia(ALHE). The cause is unknown, but theories include autoimmune, allergic, neoplastic, and infectious cause by insect bites and parasites. The treatment of choice is surgical removal. Recently we experienced a case of Kimura's disease occuring in the both side of posterior neck triangle area of a 37 year old male patient who was treated with surgical excision and systemic corticosteroid administration.
