A 23 year female presented with bilateral recurrent swelling of eyelids along with ptosis and proptosis for last 3 years. She also had swellings over the right cheek, parotid gland, and retro auricular area along with regional lymphadenopathy. Systemic laboratory workup revealed raised serum IgE and a high peripheral eosinophil count. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral enlargement of extraocular muscles, lacrimal glands, and ipsilateral parotid gland. Excision biopsy of the retro-auricular lymph node was suggestive of Kimura's disease (KD). The patient responded well to systemic corticosteroid. KD rarely affects orbit, but it should be included in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the orbit. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of KD from India involving the orbit, lacrimal gland, extraocular muscles, parotid gland and buccal area.
一位 23 岁女性,因双侧复发性眼睑肿胀、上睑下垂和眼球突出,已持续 3 年。她还出现右侧脸颊、腮腺和耳后区域肿胀,以及区域性淋巴结病。系统实验室检查显示血清 IgE 升高和外周嗜酸性粒细胞计数升高。计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像显示双侧眼外肌、泪腺和同侧腮腺增大。耳后淋巴结切除活检提示 Kimura 病(KD)。该患者对全身皮质类固醇反应良好。KD 很少累及眼眶,但应纳入眼眶炎性疾病的鉴别诊断。据我们所知,这是印度首例累及眼眶、泪腺、眼外肌、腮腺和颊部的 KD 报告病例。
