Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by slowly growing subcutaneous nodules in the face and the neck region. Although a concomitant hypercoagulable state can accompany KD, massive thromboses in patients with KD have rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of KD complicated with bowel infarction and multiple arterial thromboses in the upper and lower extremities. The patient underwent bowel resection and was successfully treated with corticosteroid and anticoagulation.
木村病(KD)是一种慢性炎症性疾病,其特征是面部和颈部区域缓慢生长的皮下结节。尽管 KD 可伴有伴随的高凝状态,但 KD 患者的大量血栓形成很少见。在这里,我们报告了一例 KD 合并肠梗死和上下肢多动脉血栓形成的病例。患者接受了肠切除术,并通过皮质类固醇和抗凝治疗成功治愈。
