Very few cases of it have been reported in literature globally, and in the context of India, it is even rare. Early suspicion of Kimura disease may prevent the patient from unnecessary invasive diagnostic tests. We present a case scenario of a 35 years old female, from a hilly area who presented with painless neck swelling for 3 months that was followed by fever, new onset pain at the site of neck swelling, and skin rashes. Diagnosis of Kimura disease was made based on histopathological findings aided by peripheral eosinophilia and elevated serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Following the diagnosis, the patient was treated with a short course of oral steroids which produced an excellent response with a consequent decrease in the size of lymph nodes and resolution of the skin rashes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1638_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,26]],"date-time":"2023-04-26T07:52:27Z","timestamp":1682495547000},"page":"788-791","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Kimura disease: A rare cause of painless lymphadenopathy in South Asia"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Prabhat","family":"Rijal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madhav","family":"Banjade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nirmal","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rohit","family":"Raina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Pathania","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ravi","family":"Kant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"R2-20260109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"C53","DOI":"10.21276\/APALM.1695","article-title":"Kimura disease:A rare case report","volume":"5","author":"Abhange","year":"2018","journal-title":"Anl Pathol Lab Med"},{"key":"R3-20260109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"827","DOI":"10.4103\/1119-3077.164361","article-title":"Kimura's disease:A case presentation of postauricular swelling","volume":"19","author":"Rajesh","year":"2016","journal-title":"Niger J Clin Pract"},{"key":"R4-20260109","first-page":"8","article-title":"Kimura's disease presenting as bilateral parotid masses","volume":"262","author":"Tseng","year":"2005","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhino Laryngol Head Neck"},{"key":"R5-20260109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"134","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2005.10.043","article-title":"Kimura's disease of the parotid region:Report of 2 cases and review of the literature","volume":"65","author":"Meningaud","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R6-20260109","first-page":"122","article-title":"Kimura's disease:A rare cause of local lymphadenopathy","volume":"2","author":"Abhay","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int J Sci Stud"},{"key":"R7-20260109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-200404000-00010","article-title":"Kimura disease:A clinicopathologic study of 21 cases","volume":"28","author":"Chen","year":"2004","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"R8-20260109","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"208","DOI":"10.4103\/0975-2870.110319","article-title":"Kimura disease.
