Kimura’s disease is rare benign chronic inflammatory condition of unknown etiology involving head and neck region. The characteristic features of this condition are elevated serum IGE levels and microscopic picture reveals lymphoid proliferation with eosinophilic infiltration. It is commonly misdiagnosed as soft tissue neoplasm. Surgical wide local excision is the main stay of treatment. Sometimes combined therapy (excision and postoperative radiotherapy) is needed. Here we are presenting one interesting rare case, 32-year-old male with post auricular swelling, diagnosed as soft tissue tumor preoperatively, after excision came out as kimura’s disease.
