title: [Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (Kimura disease)].
abstract: A case of a rare disease, known as angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, or Kimura's disease, is described in order to discuss the histopathology, aetiology and differential diagnosis by means of literature. The clinical symptomatology consisting of the appearance of cutaneous or subcutaneous tumours is reported as well as the histological features. The therapy of choice is the surgical treatment of the tumour, whereas in most cases radiation or large-dosed therapy with corticosteroids leads to remissions only.
