SummaryA man in 30s had complaints of glabellar and upper nasal swelling for 8 years. It was insidious in onset and gradually progressive causing epiphora and restriction of nasal visual field. Fine-needle aspiration cytology and biopsy revealed features which were suggestive of Kimura's disease (KD). CT scans showed a well-defined subcutaneous swelling in the naso-orbito-ethmoid (NOE) region. KD presents as lymphoglandular swelling; however, NOE region is an uncommon site of occurrence. A thyroid-shaped tumour was excised by H-shaped incision approach to the NOE region.
