It usually presents with subcutaneous lymphoid swellings with regional lymphadenopathy and salivary gland masses. Kimura\u2019s disease is frequently associated with renal involvement, which includes proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome as the most common presentations. This report presents a case of a man in his early 20s with a swelling in the medial aspect of the distal left arm with two previous episodes of nephrotic syndrome. Multiple enlarged axillary lymph nodes and epitrochlear nodes were noted. Ultrasonography revealed a mixed echogenic mass with enlarged lymph nodes. MRI showed a heterogeneous hyperintense lesion. Image-guided fine-needle aspiration showed multiple lymphocytes and eosinophils suggestive of Kimura\u2019s disease. The swelling was surgically excised under general anaesthesia. Histopathology of the excised mass confirmed the diagnosis of Kimura\u2019s disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2022-250758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]],"date-time":"2022-08-09T11:20:43Z","timestamp":1660044043000},"page":"e250758","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Kimura\u2019s disease of the left arm"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Fahad","family":"Mulla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Kingsway Hospitals, Nagpur, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nitin","family":"Bomanwar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical Oncology, Kingsway Hospitals, Nagpur, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sonika","family":"Sakhare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8625-2342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christopher Jude","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Hubli, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082704104458000_15.8.e250758.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"650","DOI":"10.5858\/2007-131-650-KD","article-title":"Kimura disease","volume":"131","author":"Abuel-Haija","year":"2007","journal-title":"Arch Pathol Lab Med"},{"key":"2025082704104458000_15.8.e250758.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"372","DOI":"10.1007\/s00401-003-0817-8","article-title":"Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia involving the cubital nerve","volume":"107","author":"Martorell","year":"2004","journal-title":"Acta Neuropathol"},{"key":"2025082704104458000_15.8.e250758.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"589","DOI":"10.1007\/s12070-018-1421-5","article-title":"Kimura's disease: a rare cause of parotid swelling","volume":"71","author":"Muniraju","year":"2019","journal-title":"Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"key":"2025082704104458000_15.8.e250758.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zhang G , Li X , Sun G , et al .
