■木村病(KD)是一种慢性疾病,主要影响皮下组织的非恶性炎症性疾病。它的典型特征是头颈部无痛结节,伴有嗜酸性粒细胞和血清IgE水平升高。这个案例研究的目的是阐明这种罕见的疾病,特别是在亚洲地区和叙利亚,并探索诊断和治疗方法,目的是减少患有这种疾病的未确诊患者的数量。
■一位23岁的男性患者出现在耳前,鼻子,以及7个月前开始出现症状的医院喉部(ENT)。主要症状是左耳前区疼痛和肿胀,随后第二天右耳前区域肿胀。病人经历了严重的,间歇性疼痛,全身性瘙痒,和系统性表现,包括发烧,发冷,疲劳,萎靡不振,厌食症,在七个月的过程中体重减轻了20公斤。左腮腺的细针抽吸显示在各个成熟阶段存在淋巴细胞,没有异常细胞的证据.随后证实了KD的诊断。
■据我们所知,此案代表了叙利亚境内第二个记录在案的KD实例。此外,我们的病例是在没有肾移植史的患者中极为罕见的KD病例之一.
■进一步的研究对于确定这种情况的实际患病率和确定最有效的管理策略至关重要。
UNASSIGNED: Kimura\'s disease (KD) is a chronic, nonmalignant inflammatory disorder that primarily affects subcutaneous tissue. It is typically characterized by painless nodules in the head and neck regions, accompanied by elevated eosinophil and serum IgE levels. The purpose of this case study is to elucidate this rare disease, particularly in the Asian region and Syria, and to explore diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies with the objective of mitigating the number of undiagnosed patients suffering from this disease.
UNASSIGNED: A 23-year-old male patient presented to the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Department of the hospital with symptoms that had been initiated 7 months prior. The primary symptoms were pain and swelling in the left preauricular area, followed by subsequent swelling in the right preauricular area the next day. The patient experienced severe, intermittent pain, generalized pruritus, and systemic manifestations, including fever, chills, fatigue, malaise, anorexia, and a weight loss of 20 kg over the course of seven months. A fine-needle aspiration of the left parotid gland revealed the presence of lymphocytes at various maturation stages, with no evidence of abnormal cells. A diagnosis of KD was subsequently confirmed.
UNASSIGNED: To our knowledge, this case represents the second documented instance of KD in Syria. Furthermore, our case is among the extremely rare instances of KD in a patient without a history of renal transplantation.
UNASSIGNED: Further research is essential to ascertain the actual prevalence of this condition and to identify the most effective management strategies.
