Abstract
Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by slowly growing subcutaneous nodules in the face and the neck region. Although a concomitant hypercoagulable state can accompany KD, massive thromboses in patients with KD have rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of KD complicated with bowel infarction and multiple arterial thromboses in the upper and lower extremities. The patient underwent bowel resection and was successfully treated with corticosteroid and anticoagulation.
