Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Kimura disease (KD) is a rare, chronic, inf lammatory disorder of unknown etiology characterized by the development of subcutaneous lymphoid masses, usually in the head and neck region; regional lymphadenopathy; peripheral eosinophilia; and elevated levels of serum IgE. KD has been described in China and Japan as “eosinophilic hyperplastic lymphogranuloma” or “atypical granulation associated with hyperplastic abnormalities in the lymphoid tissue”. The precise prevalence and incidence and the pathogenesis of KD are unknown. Trauma, infection, an IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction, or autoimmune processes have been postulated as possible causes. In this article, we aimed to present a patient who was investigated with elevated serum total IgE and eosinophils and diagnosed as Kimura disease in the light of the current literature.
