Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: We report an observation of Kimura's disease (angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia) in a Black patient from West Indies, in a rare localisation on hard palate.
EXEGESIS: A 46-year-old male patient from French West Indies (Martinique) presented with a tumor of hard palate evolving from 2 years with locoregional lymph nodes. He had a history of chronic urticaria, prurigo, rhinitis and alopecia areata. Pathological examination of the tumor was consistent with the diagnosis of Kimura's disease. Blood tests showed hypereosinophilia, elevation of IgG and IgE. The serology of Toxocara canis with Western blott was positive. Corticosteroid therapy (0.7 mg/kg/d) and albendazole (800 mg/d) allowed regression of the tumor, lymph nodes, and urticaria. The remaining tumor was surgically excised.
CONCLUSION: Kimura's disease was first described in Japanese young men, between 20 and 40 years old, with subcutaneous nodules on head and neck area. Involvement of oral mucosa is rare, and the occurence in West Indian patients has been rarely reported.
