"vascular proliferation of post-capillary venules"
"Distribution: Unlike Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (which loves the posterior triangle), Kimura has a predilection for the parotid region and epitrochlear nodes11."
"T1: hypointense or isointense compared with salivary tissue"
"T1 C+ (Gd): usually homogeneous enhancement"
"Distribution: Unlike Kikuchi-Fujimoto Disease (which loves the posterior triangle), Kimura has a predilection for the parotid region and epitrochlear nodes11."
"Flow voids may be seen within the masses due to their high vascularity."
"Kimura disease typically affects males (80%) between 20-40 years of age (80% of cases) 1,2, and is most frequently seen in Asia. Sporadic cases are seen in other geographic regions; however, these are uncommon. An infectious agent is presumed to be the cause of an immunological response; however, no specific pathogen has as yet been identified 4,5."

"It was first described in China by Kim and Szeto in 1937 as eosinophilic hyperplastic lymphogranuloma 9. It was then described in 1948 by T Kimura et al. in Japan 5,10, after whom the disease is named, an illustration of Stigler's law."

"Histologically, Kimura disease was initially thought to be related to angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE); however, clinically and radiologically these two entities are clearly different:"
