Abstract

Kimura's disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving the skin, subcutaneous tissues and lymph nodes, predominantly in the head and neck region. Though surgery, intralesional or systemic steroids or radiation therapy have been the mainstay of treatment recurrence is a common problem. On the basis of occasional case report of Kimura's disease responding to cyclosporine, we attempted oral cyclosporine in our patient with dramatic improvement.
