A rare case of Kimura's disease was seen in a 42-year-old Female patient who presented with swelling in left pre- auricular region. Initial cytology (FNAC) showed angio-follicular hyperplasia suggestive of early lymphoma or Castleman's disease. However only after biopsy, final diagnosis of this rare disease could be made. This emphasizes the need of considering Kimura's disease among differential diagnosis for swelling over parotid region.
