Patients and Methods: A total of 8 patients with a final diagnosis of Kimura disease of the head and neck region after surgery from January 2007 to December 2022 were enrolled. Results: The most common symptom was a mass in the head and neck region (n = 7), followed by incidental detection (n = 1). Multiple head and neck lesions were observed except for 1 patient with Kimura disease in the buccal space. Kimura disease could not be diagnosed in 5 patients who underwent preoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology. All patients underwent surgical resection. No major complications after surgery occurred. Six patients received steroids after surgery, with 1 patient undergoing radiotherapy as a side effect of steroid treatment. During the follow-up period, 5 patients relapsed. Of the parameters assessed, only longer symptom duration was statistically significant with relapse of Kimura disease. Conclusion: Clinicians should suspect Kimura disease based on asymptomatic masses, peripheral blood eosinophilia, and imaging examinations and make a definitive diagnosis via surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613241288487","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,5]],"date-time":"2024-10-05T05:22:24Z","timestamp":1728105744000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Kimura Disease of the Head and Neck Region"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7824-4641","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dae-Neung","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Chonnam National University Medical School & Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, Jeonnam, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sujung","family":"Yeom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Chonnam National University Medical School & Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, Jeonnam, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9288-5368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dong Hoon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Chonnam National University Medical School & Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, Jeonnam, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sang Chul","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, Chonnam National University Medical School & Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, Jeonnam, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7181\/acfs.2022.01053"},{"key":"bibr2-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0000000000005430"},{"key":"bibr3-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjv131"},{"key":"bibr4-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/dx-2018-0096"},{"key":"bibr5-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613221144495"},{"key":"bibr6-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/j.cpradiol.2020.10.003"},{"key":"bibr7-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12070-021-02511-1"},{"key":"bibr8-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2022.106591"},{"key":"bibr9-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00016489.2022.2055139"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr10-01455613241288487","first-page":"2087","volume":"16","author":"Zhang L","year":"2018","journal-title":"Exp Ther Med"},{"key":"bibr11-01455613241288487","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2022.1069102"}],"container-title":["Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/01455613241288487","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/01455613241288487","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/01455613241288487","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T18:35:42Z","timestamp":1777401342000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/01455613241288487"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,5]]},"references-count":11,"alternative-id":["10.1177\/01455613241288487"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/01455613241288487","relation":{},"ISSN":["0145-5613","1942-7522"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0145-5613","type":"print"},{"value":"1942-7522","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,5]]},"article-number":"01455613241288487"}}
