Abstract

We report a case of fortuitously observed Castleman's disease. An mediastinal opacity was observed on the chest x-ray. At surgery, the apparently benign tumor was well individualized. Pathology reported Castleman's disease. Pathogenesis is unknown. Recent data on localized and more diffuse forms of this disease are presented. Diffuse forms occur more readily in immunodepressed patients.

Castleman Disease

Castleman disease is a rare disorder that involves an overgrowth of cells in the lymph nodes. Unicentric Castleman disease affects one lymph node, usually in the chest or abdomen. Multicentric Castleman disease affects multiple lymph nodes, commonly located in the neck, collarbone, underarm and groin areas. Discover the latest research on Castleman disease here.
