Kimura hastallýðý nadir izlenen benign kronik inflamatuar bir hastalýktýr ve etyolojisi belirsizdir. Taný koymak oldukça zor ve tanýda doku örneklemesi gereklidir. Eozinofili, artmýþ serum immunoglobulin E deðerleri ve baþ ve boyunda subkutan nodüller klasik triadýný oluþturmaktadýr. Burada, servikal, supraklavikular ve mediastende multiple lenfadenopati ile baþvuran 33 yaþýnda bir hastayý sunduk. Olgumuz lenfoma ön tanýsýyla danýþýldý.

Kimura disease is rarely seen benign chronic inflammatory disease, the etiology of which is unknown. The diagnosis of the disease is challenging, and so histopathological sampling is necessary. Eosinophilia, increased serum immunoglobulin E levels and subcutaneous nodules in the head and neck are the classical triad indicators of the disease. Herein, we present the case of a 33-year-old man with multiple lymphadenopathies in the area of neck, supraclavicular and mediastinum. The patient was pre-diagnosed with lymphoma. After a supraclavicular lymph node excision, the diagnosis was re-evaluated as Kimura Disease.

Keywords: Kimura Disease, lymphoma, immunoglobulin E, Eosinophilia.
