This article describes Kimura’s disease as a rare case of lymphadenitis and reviews its epidemiology, clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment methods. The role of surgical procedures was also underlined. Kimura disease is a rare and benign chronic inflammatory soft tissue disorder of unknown origin. The definitive histological description was published by Kimura et al. in 1948 and henceforth, the disease has born his name. Since that time, there has been a gradual increase in the number of reports. While most cases of Kimura disease have originated in China, Japan or Southeast Asia, there have been sporadic case reports from Europe and America. The data suggest that Kimura’s disease should be included in the list of differential diagnoses for all neck lymph node involvements. If a otolaryngologist maintains a high index of suspicion, an early diagnosis can be made to contribute to a more successful outcome of the disease.

Artykuł opisuje chorobę Kimury – rzadką przyczynę limfadenopatii, jej epidemiologię, objawy kliniczne, diagnostykę i leczenie, w tym leczenie chirurgiczne. Choroba Kimury jest rzadkim, łagodnym, przewlekłym zapaleniem tkanki łącznej nieznanego pochodzenia. Cechy histologiczne tej choroby zostały po raz pierwszy opisane przez Kimurę i wsp. w 1948 r. i nazwane jego nazwiskiem. Większość przypadków choroby Kimury pochodzi z Chin, Japonii bądź południowo-wschodniej Azji, natomiast nieliczne z Europy i Ameryki. Obraz kliniczny choroby nakazuje uwzględnienie jej w diagnostyce różnicowej powiększenia węzłów chłonnych szyi. Daje to możliwość pomyślnego wyleczenia.
