Abstract
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.Entities:
