Abstract
Kimura’s disease (KD) is an angiolymphoid proliferative disorder of soft tissue with eosinophilia, with a predilection for head and neck regions in young Oriental men. Renal disease is rarely associated with it. We describe a young non-Oriental male with KD and relapsing steroid-responsive minimal-change nephrotic syndrome. This case of KD associated nephrotic syndrome is unique in the relapsing nature of the nephropathy and the non-Oriental origin of the patient. We comment on KD and nephrotic syndrome and on treatment strategy.Keywords
