INTRODUCTION Kimura's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease involving the dermis and subcutaneous tissue characterized by one or multiple painless nodules. It affects the subcutaneous tissues, major salivary glands, and lymph nodes, chiefly in the head and neck region. It is often accompanied by peripheral blood eosinophilia and elevated serum IgE. e pathogenesis of Kimura's disease remain...

Kimura disease (KD) is an eosinophilic, granulomatous, benign, chronic inflammatory disease with an unknown etiology. A 33-year-old woman visited our hospital because of a palpable, left subclavian mass, a left scapulo-anterior pseudoaneurysm, and nephrotic syndrome. Her subclavian lymph node biopsy examination result was consistent with KD, and results of a renal biopsy indicated secondary mem...

Kimura disease is a rare inflammatory skin disorder characterized by numerous lymphoid follicles (LFs) in the head and neck, which contains B cell nests. cells circulate through blood via lymph nodes (LNs) are sparsely present inflamed skin. Nonetheless, LFs harbor notable infiltration of form organized structures morphologically similar to LNs. A group recently demonstrated that memory gut exp...

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is an uncommon skin disease that presents as papules or nodules in the head and neck region. The pathogenesis of vascular proliferation characterizes ALHE unclear, neoplastic reactive etiologies have both been proposed. Several human polymaviruses (HPyV), including HPyV6, HPyV7, trichodysplasia spinulosa polyomavirus (TSPyV), Merkel Cell (MCPyV...

Kimura disease (KD) is an uncommon chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, occurs mainly in Asian young males, presenting as subcutaneous growing masses, with a predilection for head and neck, with or without satellite lymphadenopathy. Herein, we report a case of an atypical manifestation of KD accompanied with NS in a middle-aged man, though the patient was clinically misdiagnosed p...

The goal of this manuscript is a comparative study of two WrightFisher-like diffusion processes on the interval, one due to Karlin and the other one due to Kimura. Each model accounts for the evolution of one two-locus colony undergoing random mating, under the additional action of selection in random environment. In other words, we study the effect of disorder on the usual Wright-Fisher model ...
