A chorioretinal lesion in a patient with Kimura's disease.

A 47-year-old male patient with Kimura's disease showed a white and slightly elevated choroidal lesion surrounded by serous retinal detachment in his left eye. Serological examination revealed esinophilia. Swelling in his left cheek had been increasing during a period of 20 years, and diagnosis of Kimura's disease had been made earlier by biopsy. Fluorescein angiography suggested disturbance of choroidal circulation and dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelium. After corticosteroid therapy, improvement was seen in the fundus findings, the swelling in the cheek and eosinophilia.
