AB - Kimura’s disease (KD) is a benign chronic inflammatory disease of subcutaneous tissue of unknown
etiology. Although it is regularly reported and is now clearly defined, it still constitutes a diagnostic
challenge, as its resemblance with benign and malignant diseases can make the diagnosis difficult, requiring
the skills of experienced pathologists. We report here our experience with Kimura’s Disease, presenting two
cases of female patients from Saudi Arabia with the pathology located within the orbit who were
successfully treated surgically at Clarós Clinic. Afterwards we review the literature on the subject and
discuss diagnostic process with particular emphasis on imaging diagnostic and treatment options to improve
our understanding of this mysterious disease.
