An 11 year old Chinese boy developed a unilateral cervical mass
associated with pronounced eosinophilia and a marked increase in IgE
concentrations. A biopsy sample showed massive eosinophilic tissue
infiltration consistent with Kimura's disease. This disorder should be
suspected when the clinical triad of painless unilateral cervical
adenopathy, hypereosinophilia, and hyper-IgE is present, particularly in male Asian patients.
