Kimura's disease is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by subcutaneous nodules in the head and neck regions associated with regional cervical lymphadenopathy. Following its recognition as a pathologic entity, numerous reports have been published detailing the pathogenesis, radiologic manifestations, and treatment modalities. An extensive review of the literature did not reveal any cases of diffuse thoraco-abdominal lymphadenopathy described in relation to Kimura's disease. Hence, the interest in the case discussed here.
木村病是一种罕见的慢性炎症性疾病，其特征为头颈部区域出现皮下结节并伴有颈部区域性淋巴结病。自其被确认为一种病理实体后，已有大量报告详细阐述了其发病机制、影像学表现及治疗方式。对文献的广泛回顾未发现任何与木村病相关的弥漫性胸腹淋巴结病的病例报道。因此，才有了本文所讨论的这个病例。
