'''Kimura disease''' is a rare disease with abundant eosinophils. It may show-up in a [[lymph node]] specimen. It is similar to ''[[angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia]]''.<ref>URL: [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1082603-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1082603-overview].
