title: Kimura's disease: report of a pediatric case in the United States.
abstract: A 14-year-old male adolescent is described with a 6-year history of active lymphadenopathy, skin rash, peripheral blood eosinophilia, and markedly elevated serum-IgE level. Complete histopathologic and immunologic evaluations established the diagnosis of Kimura's disease as first described in Japan. Because of its relative infrequency and varied features, this disorder can be difficult to diagnose when it is encountered in the United States.
