A case of eosinophilic granuloma of the soft tissue (Kimura's disease) in the cheek of a 43-year-old man is described. A tumor of the cheek was resected and histologic examination revealed hyperplastic lymphfollicular structure and marked infiltration of eosinophils. In the blood examination, eosinophilia was present and serum level for IgE was more than 4, 000 IU/ml. Postoperative course was good and no recurrence was seen during the follow-up period of 17 months. The patient had tumors also in the right elbow joint region and both inguinal region, which were speculated as eosinophilic granuloma.
