Kimura's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition producing subcutaneous tumor-like nodules, mainly in the head and neck region. Most patients have involvement of regional lymph nodes and major salivary glands. The authors present two cases of Kimura's disease with parotid gland and postauricular lymph node involvement. With Tl-201 SPECT, elevated uptake was noted on early and delayed images. Kimura's disease should be included in the differential diagnosis when increased Tl-201 uptake in head and neck mass lesions is noted.
木村病是一种慢性炎症性疾病,主要在头颈部产生皮下肿瘤样结节。大多数患者有区域淋巴结和主要唾液腺受累。作者报告了2例累及腮腺和耳后淋巴结的木村病病例。在铊-201单光子发射计算机断层扫描(Tl-201 SPECT)检查中,早期和延迟图像均显示摄取增加。当发现头颈部肿块病变中铊-201摄取增加时,木村病应列入鉴别诊断。
