Kimura Disease: An Unusual Presentation in Paediatric Age Group
Journal Title: Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal - Year 2011, Vol 5, Issue 2

Kimura disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder that is prevalent among Asians. It rarely affects the upper limbs or paediatric patients. We report a case of Kimura disease with first presentation as a soft tissue mass in the arm mimicking a soft tissue neoplasm with metastasis in a 12 year old Chinese boy.
