Kimura Disease: A case report with bilateral upper lid masses and a right parotid mass.

A 38-year-old male presented with bilateral upper eyelid masses and a right parotid mass. Nineteen years before the consultation, the patient experienced swelling at both upper eyelids. Formerly diagnosed by an ophthalmologist, corticosteroid, an anti-inflammatory medication, was prescribed for the patient, which resulted in partial resolution of the lid swelling. However, he was lost to follow-up, and progressive enlargement of the lids was observed with the development of a right parotid mass. The visual acuity of the patient was classified as counting fingers, three feet bilaterally. A detailed examination was difficult owing to the obstructive nature of the masses. However, ocular structures appeared intact. An excisional biopsy with a reconstruction of bilateral upper lids was performed. Histopathologic findings revealed a lymphoproliferative lesion suggestive of Kimura disease (KD). The patient was subsequently referred to rheumatology for management, where they started a regimen of oral steroids and antihistamines.
