Kimura disease is a relatively rare chronic inflammatory disorder that predominantly affects the head and neck region, and its clinical characteristics and optimal treatment strategies remain insufficiently understood. This nationwide multicenter study aims to collect and analyze clinical data from patients with Kimura disease involving the head and neck, including symptoms, lesion site, comorbidities, laboratory findings, treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes. The objectives are to characterize the patient demographics, clinical features, treatment patterns, and outcomes of Kimura disease in Japan and to provide evidence that may contribute to the establishment of appropriate clinical management strategies and improvement of treatment outcomes.

1.Patients diagnosed with Kimura disease. The diagnosis is primarily based on histopathological findings. Patients without histopathological confirmation may also be included if the attending physician at each participating institution diagnoses Kimura disease based on a comprehensive assessment of imaging findings, laboratory findings, and clinical course. Such patients will be classified as suspected cases in this study.
2.Patients with lesions involving the head and neck region.
3.Patients who received inpatient or outpatient care at the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of a participating institution between January 1, 2010 and June 30, 2026.
4.Patients who have not opted out of participation in this study.
