Abstract

Castleman's disease (CD) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative process that can present concurrent to other solid organ malignancy, especially in selected populations. Concomitant CD and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are challenging in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Assessment of CD involvement is a crucial step in selecting the optimal treatment strategy. Here we report a case of metastatic RCC and concurrent CD treated with surgery and immunotherapy.
