Abstract

Eosinophilic granuloma, so called Kimura's disease, is a benign chronic granuloma that appears chiefly in subcutaneous soft tissue or lymphonodus and sometimes other regions such as elbow presented in this case. The case is a 37 years old man who complained of severe swelling on the right elbow region in the last 3 years. The labolatory date, angiogram, CT-scan and Ga-cintigram were checked before resection operation was done. The differential of WBC showed a high grade increase of the percentage of the eosinophil and the serum IgE also showed increase to abnormal high level. The pathological finding showed a characteristic lymphofollicular structure and infiltration of eosinophils. Depending on the clinicall findings, the abnormalities of the labolatory data and the characteristic findings pathologically, it was considered to be a case of the eosinophilic granuloma, so called Kimura's disease.
