The histologic characteristics of the tumors showed the combination of poorly differentiated proliferating vessels, tissue eosinophilia and lymphoid follicle formation or arteritis or both. The lesion was described first time by Kimura in 1948, to a condition that featured ""unusual granulation combined with hyperplastic change of lymphatic tissue"" and called it ""eosinophilic lymphoid granuloma"" Recently the authors had experienced a case of Kimura's disease arising from upper neck.
