“…In contrast, the plasma cell variant is frequently associated with various signs and symptoms such as hypergammaglobulinemia, elevated ESR, anemia and pyrexia. [2][3][4] Furthermore, both variants can be either unicentric or multicentric. Multicentric forms may display a more aggressive course and have frequently been associated with infectious complications.…”

“…Multicentric forms may display a more aggressive course and have frequently been associated with infectious complications. 2,3 The incidence of malignancies, in particular lymphoma and Kaposi's sarcoma, has already been reported in patients with multicentric Castleman's disease. 4,5 The association between unicentric Castleman's disease and vascular neoplasm has also been described previously.…”

“…6 Optimal therapy remains uncertain, but most reports describing surgical resection indicate that complete resection is curative for unicentric Castleman's disease. 2,3 Treatment for the multicentric form has not yet been firmly established, but systemic therapy with steroids or antiblastic agents has been used with variable success. 2 Close follow-up and periodic surveillance are necessary to detect concurrent or ensuing malignant lesions.…”

A 54-year-old asymptomatic woman was first diagnosed with unicentric Castleman's disease at 51 years of age. The disease was identified incidentally behind the inferior vena cava after a computed tomography (CT) scan. She was followed conservatively and no enlargement of the mass was observed. However, a follow-up CT scan revealed another solid mass in the left retroperitoneal area. Both tumors were surgically removed in the same session. The retrocaval mass was histologically confirmed to be Castleman's disease of the hyaline vascular type. Histological examination of the left peritoneal mass revealed low-grade leiomyosarcoma. We present here a case of leiomyosarcoma associated with unicentric Castleman's disease, both of which were localized in the retroperitoneum.

ÖzetCastleman hastalığı lenfadenopati ile seyreden etyolojisi bilinmeyen lenfoproliferatif bozukluktur. Castleman Hastalığı lenfatik zincir boyunca herhangi bir yerde ortaya çıkabilmesine rağmen, mediasten (% 70) en sık bulunduğu lokalizasyondur. Biz abdominal tomografide sağ böbrek renal hilus ile ilişkili homojen retroperitoneal kitlesi olan 36 yaşındaki erkek hastanın olgu sunumunu yaptık. Bu kitleye cerrahi rezeksiyon uygulandı ve rezeke edilen dokunun histopatolojik tanısı Castleman hastalığının hiyalin-vasküler tipi idi. Bu hastalık histolojik ve prognostik olarak malign lenf nodu hiperplazisinden farklıdır. Castleman hastalığı nadir görülen bir durum olmasına karşın, her zaman retroperitoneal tümörlerin ayırıcı tanısında akılda tutulması gereken bir durumdur. Anahtar KelimelerLenf Nodu; Retroperiton; Bening Tümör Abstract Castleman's disease is a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders with unknown etiology presenting with lymphadenopathy. Although Castleman's Disease may occur anywhere along the lymphatic chain, the mediastinum is the most common location (70%). We represent 36-year-old male patient with homogeneous retroperitoneal mass that interrelated with renal hilum of the right kidney in abdominal tomography. Surgical complete resection performed and histopathological diagnosis of the resected tissue was hyaline-vascular type of Castleman's disease It is histologically and prognostically distinct from malignant lymph-node hyperplasia. Although Castleman's disease is rare condition, it should always be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumors.
