ABSTRACT

Kimura disease is a chronic benign disorder, primarily seen in asians male during the second and third decades of life, which presents itself as a tumour like lesion with a predilection for the head and neck region. There is high prevalence of associated renal disease. We report two cases of nephrotic syndrome associated with Kimura disease, and this is the first report of Kimura disease with renal involvement in Korean children.
