Abstract

The aim of the current study was to discuss and analyze computerized tomography (CT) features and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with Kimura disease in head and neck. CT and clinicopathological data of 12 patients with Kimura disease diagnosed between May 2011 and May 2015 were analyzed. The mean age was 43.9 years and the disease course varied from 1 week‑20 years. The mean absolute value of eosinophil granulocytes was 1.95x109/l. Multiple nodules were detected in 4 patients with Kimura disease. Main symptoms included multiple enlarged lymph nodes in neck and submaxillary regions. CT imaging of nodular lesions revealed a clear boundary, with moderate to marked homogeneous enhancement. Diffuse mass lesions were observed in 6 patients with Kimura disease. Main symptoms included subcutaneous diffuse soft tissue mass in parotid gland and maxillofacial regions. CT imaging of diffuse mass revealed unclear boundaries, adjacent skin thickness and moderate heterogeneous enhancement. In some cases, the diffuse mass involved soft mass with unclear boundaries. Pathological symptoms of Kimura disease included infiltration of eosinophilia, lymphocytic proliferation, formation of lymphatic follicles and variable degrees of fibrosis and vascular proliferation. Diagnosis of Kimura disease in head and neck regions may be improved based on lesions with clear or unclear boundaries, homogeneous or heterogeneous enhancement, with or without lymphadenectasis and by the presence of peripheral blood eosinophilia. However, a final diagnosis relies on a pathological examination.
