本病于1937年由我国学者金氏首先发现,并以“嗜伊红球增多淋巴母细胞瘤”为名报告7例。1948年日本木村氏报告2例。1957年金氏等又增加16例。认为本病并非肿瘤而是肉芽肿,故改称为“嗜伊红细胞增生性淋巴肉芽肿”。1959年饭塚氏将本病称为木村氏病。由于本病病因尚不甚明瞭,病变主要累及皮下淋巴结及软部组织(包括皮肤、肌肉、腮腺、四肢皮 The disease was first discovered by Chinese scholar Jinshi in 1937, and reported in 7 cases with the name of “an eosinophilic augmented lymphoblastoma”.
