چکیده

disorder that occurs mainly in Asian male patients. Kimura’s disease most commonly presents as swelling of a major salivary gland and regional lymphadenopathy in the head and neck region. Uncommon sites of involvement include the upper extremities, axilla, popliteal area and groin (1, 2). The imaging findings of Kimura’s disease involving the head and neck region and upper extremities have been documented (3-8). To the best of our knowledge, a report of Kimura’s disease involving the groin in the English language has not been reported. We report here a case of Kimura’s disease in the groin with MR imaging findings and histopathological correlations.
