A case series of Kimura's disease: a diagnostic challenge.

Kimura's disease (KD) is a rare, benign disorder characterized by subcutaneous masses with regional lymph-node enlargement. It is considered to be due to chronic inflammation of unclear etiology. Most cases have been reported in young, 20-30-year-old men of Asian descent.

The performance of NLST screening criteria in Asian lung cancer patients.

Background: Screening high-risk individuals with low dose CT decreased lung cancer mortality in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), but the validity of directly extrapolating these results to an Asian population is unclear. Using statistical models on Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Result (SEER) data, 27% of lung cancer patients in the United States were estimated to meet the screening criteria. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the NLST criteria in Asian lung cancer patients and to examine the characteristics of those who did not meet the criteria.
