Castleman's disease is a rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain origin which most commonly involves the mediastinum but rarely affects the axilla. We report a case of localized Castleman's disease involving the axillary lymph node. Mammography revealed a well-defined, homogeneously dense ovoid mass, 3 cm in size, in the left axilla, while gray-scale ultrasonography (US) demonstrated a well-defined, uniformly hypoechoic ovoid mass with good through transmission. Peripheral hypervascularity was observed at power Dopper US, and early rapid homogeneous enhancement at contrast-enhanced dynamic CT.

“…This type tends to be associated with AIDS-and human herpesvirus 8 -related infections, and the most common symptoms include fever, weight loss, hemolytic anemia, night sweats, and the POEMS (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal proteinaemia and skin changes) syndrome. [3][4][5][6] Keller et al 2 classified three histological subtypes of CD: hyaline-vascular, plasma-cell, and mixed. Histologically, the hyaline-vascular type, usually found in unicentric CD, is characterized by small hyaline-vascular follicles and interfollicular stroma with capillary proliferation.…”
