嗜酸性淋巴肉芽肿是一种原因不明,好发于皮下组织,淋巴结以及涎腺等处的肉芽肿性疾病。为我国外科医师金显宅等最早发现,并于1937年报告(1),1957年再次著文(2),对本病进行全面阐述,两次共报告23例。至今、国内报告有158例(1—17)。如果再加未公开发表的资料,至少有200例以上。本病亦多见于日本,1901年片山报告一例被诊断为米枯力氏病(18),以后也屡有报道,均与它病混淆。1948年,病理学家木村哲二发表论文之后才逐渐有所认识(19)。1959年,饭塚提倡称为木村氏病(kimura s disease)。至今,已报告200多例。名称尚未统一。在欧美国家中对病报道较少。1969年,Wells等(21)首次在英文文献中报告9例与本病相似的病例,称为“皮下血管淋巴样增生伴嗜酸性白细胞增多症(Subcutaneous angiolymphoid Eosinophilic lymphogranuloma is an unexplained cause of granulomatous disease in subcutaneous tissue, lymph nodes, and parotid glands. It was first discovered by our surgeon Jin Xianzhai, and it was reported in 1937 (1). In 1957, it was written again (2). The disease was fully explained and two cases were reported in total. There have been 158 cases (1-17) reported so far and in the country. If we add unpublished data, there will be at least 200 cases. This disease is also more common in Japan. In 1901, Yamamoto reported that one case had been diagnosed with Mytilaria’s disease (18). It has also been reported repeatedly and confused with it. In 1948, the pathologist Dr. Kimura Tetsuji became aware of his paper (19). In 1959, Iizuka promoted kimura s disease. So far, more than 200 cases have been reported. The name is not yet uniform. There are fewer reports on diseases in European and American countries. In 1969, Wells et al. (21) reported for the first time in the English literature nine cases similar to the disease, called "subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia with subcutaneous angiolymphoid.
