UNASSIGNED: Kimura disease (KD) presents a diagnostic challenge to clinicians because of its rarity and atypical symptoms in its early stages, and it is difficult to treat and prone to recurrence or involvement of other organs.
UNASSIGNED: This study aims to investigate the possible relevance of renal involvement and recurrence by analysing the clinical presentations, laboratory results, histopathological features, therapeutic data and follow-up results of KD.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 27 patients diagnosed as KD in two hospitals from January 1999 to December 2021 were analysed retrospectively in this study based on the diagnosis of histopathology.
UNASSIGNED: KD mainly affected male more than female (8:1) with the onset age ranging from 3 to 58 years (median 29.8 years). The common initial symptoms included subcutaneous soft tissue or lymph node enlargement, non-specific skin lesions and proteinuria. One patient presented cough and expectoration as the first symptoms. KD patients often had high levels of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) and basophils, which exhibited a significantly positive correlation with renal involvement and recurrence (p < 0.05). Early mass resection could prevent the development of nephritis and decrease the risk of relapse (p < 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: KD should be noted in patients presenting with intractable and relapsing atopic skin lesions and (or) subcutaneous mass. Patients with high levels of serum IgE and blood basophils may be prone to developing KD-associated nephritis and predict a high risk of recurrence. Early surgical removal of the mass may result in a better prognosis.

The author presents his own observation of a patient with Kimura\'s disease (CD), which is a rather rare chronic inflammatory disease of soft tissues. The results of clinical examination and surgical treatment of this disease are presented. It is emphasized that for the diagnosis of CD, first of all, an excision biopsy of the lesion is necessary, as well as the presence of eosinophilia in the patient, an increased level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in peripheral blood, an increase in regional lymph nodes.
Представлено собственное наблюдение пациента с болезнью Кимуры (БК), представляющее редкое хроническое воспалительное заболевание мягких тканей. Приведены результаты клинического обследования и хирургического лечения этого заболевания. Для постановки диагноза БК, прежде всего, необходимо проведение эксцизионной биопсии очага поражения, а также выявление у пациента эозинофилии, повышенного уровня иммуноглобулина E (IgE) в периферической крови, увеличение регионарных лимфатических узлов.

UNASSIGNED: Kimura\'s disease (KD) is an eosinophilic proliferative lymphoid disease with rare incidence rate and nonspecific clinical symptoms.
UNASSIGNED: To investigate the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of KD.
UNASSIGNED: The clinical manifestations, laboratory examination, imaging examination, proposed treatment, and prognosis of 20 patients with KD treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.
UNASSIGNED: All cases showed painless masses. The proportion of peripheral blood eosinophils rose in 18 cases (90%), the eosinophil count increased in 14 cases (70%) and the serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels were significantly increased in 5 patients (100%). Pathological examination revealed follicular hyperplasia, eosinophils infiltration, and tiny vessels proliferation in KD samples.
UNASSIGNED: KD should be considered when the patients suffered head and neck subcutaneous painless mass, increased peripheral blood eosinophils and raised serum IgE level. Pathological examination is the golden standard for diagnosing KD. Surgical intervention, medical treatments, and radiotherapy may be effective for KD treatment.
UNASSIGNED: This study might shed a light on improving the diagnosis and treatment for KD.

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare disease characterized by single or multiple angiomatous lesions typically located on the scalp and the face. We present a retrospective analysis of 9 cases of ALHE. The lesions appeared largely as multiple grouped papules or, in some cases, subcutaneous nodules, located mainly on the scalp, particularly around the ear. We also observed lesions in atypical locations, such as areas of the head other than the scalp, and the shoulder, neck, and forearm. At these sites the lesions had an atypical clinical appearance that made diagnosis difficult; this should be borne in mind in patients with single, well-delimited lesions with a vascular appearance and superficial ulceration or crusting. Surgery was the most common treatment in our series, and even though ALHE is considered a benign condition, recurrence was common.
