Kimura's disease (KD) is an angiolymphoid proliferative disorder of soft tissue with eosinophilia, with a predilection for head and neck regions in young Oriental men. Renal disease is rarely associated with it. We describe a young non-Oriental male with KD and relapsing steroid-responsive minimal-change nephrotic syndrome. This case of KD associated nephrotic syndrome is unique in the relapsing nature of the nephropathy and the non-Oriental origin of the patient. We comment on KD and nephrotic syndrome and on treatment strategy.
木村病（KD）是一种伴有嗜酸性粒细胞增多的软组织血管淋巴增生性疾病，好发于年轻的东方男性头颈部区域。肾脏疾病很少与之相关。我们描述了一名患有KD和复发性类固醇反应性微小病变肾病综合征的非东方年轻男性。这例KD相关性肾病综合征病例的独特之处在于肾病的复发性以及患者的非东方血统。我们对KD、肾病综合征及治疗策略进行了评论。
