Experience in treating Kimura's disease from phlegm stasis with dampness
Kimura's disease is a rare clinical condition characterized by chronic inflammation of unknown origin.It primarily presents as painless subcutaneous nodules,predominantly affecting the head and neck regions.The exact mechanism underlying its development remains elusive,and there is currently no consensus regarding its treatment.Professor Yang Wenxin proposes that the pathogenesis of Kimura's disease involves a combination of phlegm,blood stasis,and dampness,advocating for a"spleen-focused approach to skin treatment".This therapeutic strategy involves strengthening and regulating the spleen throughout the en-tire treatment process,with the fundamental principles of resolving phlegm,dispersing nodules,eliminating blood stasis,and promoting diuresis.A modified version of Yunpi Sanji Decoction is utilized,incorporating measures to dissolve phlegm,disperse nodules,eliminate blood stasis,remove dampness,and supplement deficiencies,thereby employing a combined approach of tonification and elimination.Ultimately,significant therapeutic efficacy has been achieved.
