Experience and clinical analysis of Kimura disease in children with bilateral lacrimal glands
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2022, Vol 37, Issue 11
Abstract
Kimura disease (KD) is a rare chronic progressive inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that may be immune-mediated. Herein, we analyze an 8-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with painless ptosis in the left eye, double tear glands on imaging, elevated levels of eosinophils and immunoglobulin E (IgE) on blood, and massive eosinophil infiltration on pathology. The final diagnosis was Kimura disease involving bilateral lacrimal glands. After resection of the left orbital tumor, no recurrence was observed in the six months postoperation follow-up.
