Rare Bilateral Symmetrical Kimura Disease: Diagnostic Challenges and Treatment Success in a 63-Year-Old Male Patient.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Kimura disease (KD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder that presents with eosinophilic infiltration and angiolymphoid proliferation, often affecting young men. However, its clinical manifestations can be elusive, especially when presenting bilaterally, which is exceptionally rare. This case report details a 63-year-old male patient with a 30-year history of progressive bilateral retroauricular masses, pruritus, and skin hyperpigmentation, a presentation that posed significant diagnostic challenges. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed poorly defined, heterogeneously enhancing masses and bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis was confirmed through histopathology and peripheral eosinophilia. The patient was successfully treated with surgical excision and corticosteroid therapy. This case underscores the importance of considering KD in the differential diagnosis of chronic, bilateral neck masses, particularly when accompanied by eosinophilia, and highlights the role of imaging and histopathology in accurate diagnosis.
