Abstract

Kimura’s Disease is a rare condition, its histological features are: Lesions characterized by hyperplasic lymphoid tissue an inflammatory infiltrate rich in Eosinophils and a proliferation of post capillary venules, the patients have high levels of Immunoglobulin E and Eosinophils in their serum. A nephrotic syndrome must always be sought in these patients. The ESR is also raised in most cases.
