Abstract
Kimura's disease is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder with a high rate of recurrence.
The clinical and imaging features of Kimura's disease have been documented in the
literature, but the relationship between these features and disease recurrence is
still unclear. We conclude that disease duration of greater than 5 years, bilateral
involvement, a lesion diameter of greater than 3 cm, a blood eosinophil count greater
than 20%, and ill-defined lesions are predictive factors for the recurrence of Kimura's
disease.
