Eosinophilia and multiple lymphadenopathy: Kimura disease, a rare, but benign condition.

We describe a case in a 34-year-old Chinese man presenting with severe eosinophilia and multiple lymphadenopathy.

The histological diagnosis was consistent with Kimura disease. We review the epidemiology, the aetiology and clinical features of this entity.
