Kimura's disease is a rare disorder of uncertain aetiology seen in Asian population, and presents as painless lymphadenopathy or subcutaneous masses in head-neck region. Peripheral eosinophilia, elevated levels of serum IgE, lymphoid proliferation and eosinophilic infiltration are its characteristic pathological features. We report a case of 40 year old male patient who presented with swelling behind right ear after successful ear surgery. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology and was treated by oral steroids.
