Parotis ve submandibüler bölgede Kimura hastalığı: İki olgu sunumu

Biri parotis bölgesinde diğeri submandibüler bölge- de olmak üzere ağrısız kitle flikayetiyle baflvuran 13 ve 50 yafllarındaki iki erkek hastanın kanında eozinofili ve yüksek immünglobulin E IgE düzeyi saptandı. Kitle varlığı ultrasonografi ile de belirlen- dikten sonra lezyonlar cerrahi eksizyonla çıkarıldı. Histopatolojik incelemede örneklerde yoğun lenfo- sitik ve eozinofilik infiltrasyon görüldü. Periferal eo- zinofili, yüksek IgE düzeyi ve histopatolojik bulgular ıflığında olgulara Kimura hastalığı tanısı kondu. Cerrahi tedaviden sonra iki hasta da birer yıl izlen- di ve nüks görülmedi

Kimura's disease in the parotid and submandibular regions: two case reports

Two male patients aged 13 and 50 years who pre- sented with a complaint of painless mass in the parotid and submandibular regions, respectively, were found to have eosinophilia and increased blood immunoglobulin E IgE levels. Following ultrasonographic examination of the masses, surgical excision was performed. Histopathologic evaluation revealed massive lymphocytic and eosinophilic infiltration.Histopathologic findings and the presence of peripheral eosinophilia and high IgE levels led to a diagnosis of Kimura’s disease. Postoperatively, no recurrences were detected within a year follow-up.
