Kimura Disease

A chronic inflammatory disease characterized by benign enlargement of cervical LYMPH NODE and SALIVARY GLANDS with increased levels of IMMUNOGLOBULIN E. Unlike ANGIOLYMPHOID HYPERPLASIA WITH EOSINOPHILIA it involves eosinophil infiltrates in lymph node and salivary glands and mostly found in Asian males.
