Abstract
We present a case of a 37-year-old woman who had Kimura's disease involving the lower extremity mimicking malignant soft tissue mass. The diagnosis of Kimura's disease would be considered if there is a subcutaneous solid mass showing the preservation of the nodal architecture with perinodal infiltrations and the laboratory examinations for peripheral eosinophilia and serum IgE level should be recommended although it occurs at the lower extremity.
37세 여자 환자의 하지에 연부 조직 악성 종양 형태로 발생한 Kimura 병을 보고 하고자 한다. 하지에 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물지만 피하 지방층에 경계가 안 좋은 고형 종괴가 임파선 형태를 유지하며 주위 조직으로 침윤이 있다면 Kimura 병을 감별진단에 포함시켜야 하며 말초 혈액검사와 혈청 IgE 수치 측정을 권유하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.
