Kimura's disease is a rare inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology primarily seen in young Asian males. It is characterized by painless subcutaneous masses, blood and tissue eosinophilia, and markedly elevated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Clinically, the subcutaneous nodules occur predominantly in the head and neck. However, we report the case of a five-year-old boy presenting with an asymptomatic solitary brown pigmented nodule on the left buttock diagnosed with Kimura's disease. Here we describe the diagnosis and treatment of this unusual case.
木村病是一种病因不明的罕见炎症性疾病,主要见于年轻亚洲男性。其特征为无痛性皮下肿块、血液和组织嗜酸性粒细胞增多,以及血清免疫球蛋白E(IgE)水平显著升高。临床上,皮下结节主要发生在头颈部。然而,我们报告了一例5岁男孩的病例,该男孩左侧臀部出现一个无症状的孤立性褐色色素沉着结节,诊断为木村病。在此,我们描述该罕见病例的诊断和治疗。
