Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic affection of unknown etiology, endemic in the far east with a net male predominance. We present the case of a 37-year-old female patient who developed a tumor process in the left parotid region over a period of 3 years. A total left parotidectomy was performed with simple postoperative course. The anatomopathological study of the surgical specimen was in favor of Kimura’s disease. Through this case and a review of the literature, we present the main clinical, anatomopathological, therapeutic and evolutionary characteristics of this rare disease.
