Abstract
Kimura disease is an extremely rare idiopathic condition. It is a chronic inflammatory disorder typically seen in Asian males in younger age groups. Its classical features include painless lymphadenopathy or subcutaneous swelling usually in head and neck, eosinophilia and raised levels of IgE. However, our case is of a 45 year old male who presented with right sided inguinal swelling with diagnostic dilemma that was later diagnosed as Kimura disease after invasive histopathological analysis. Here, we have described this case to shed some light on possibility of such presentation of this rare disease.
