Kimura disease is a rare, non-cancerous chronic inflammatory disease characterized by lymph node enlargement in the head and neck, often accompanied by eosinophilia (high level of disease-fighting white blood cells called eosinophils in the blood) and increased serum IgE (a type of antibody). The cause is unknown but could be due to allergic reactions, trauma, or immune system problems. It's more common in young Asian men.
Typical Symptoms of Kimura's Disease
- Skin hardening
- Swollen lymph nodes, usually small swellings at the neck, armpits, groin and behind the ears
- Swelling of the affected area
- Dark spots on skin
- Skin Itching
Diagnostic Questions for Kimura's Disease
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have skin hardening?
- Are your lymph nodes swollen and enlarged?
- Is the affected area swollen?
- Do you have darkened skin?
- Is your skin itchy?
Treatment of Kimura's Disease
Because the disease is so rare, there is no standard protocol for management of this condition. However, a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and medications can be used to remove or shrink the masses.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
