title: [Diagnostic value of Kimura's disease with ultrasonography].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasonography for Kimura's disease (KD).
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospectively analyzed the results of two dimension and color Doppler of 21 Kimura's disease carried by 19 patients who were resected and confirmed by pathologhy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Twenty-one KD cases were detected by the ultrasound while none of them was diagnosed by ultrasonography. 21 cases were showed in the lymph nodes (42.9%, 9/21), parotid gland (4.8%, 1/21) and soft tissues (52.4%, 11/21). The masses both in the lymph and in the parotid gland marked hypoechogenicity and round or like-round. Cases in the soft tissues marked hypoechogencity or hyperechogenicity. Color Doppler flow pattern II to III were showed in 19 cases (90.5%, 19/21).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ultrasonography enables a confident preoperative diagnosis of Kimura's disease.
