Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (Kimura Disease) is a rare benign vascular tumor affecting principally the head and neck region of young adults. Although the nodules lie mainly in the subcutis, the patient's lesion extended from subcutis to deeply into the temporal muscle and pericranium. There is also hyperostosis of the frontal bone into the cranial cavity. In this paper, clinical and radiological findings are described and literature reviewed.
