“…3 The unicentric form of castleman disease most frequently manifests as an asymptomatic, solitary mediastinal tumor (40-70% of cases). 4,5 Additional sites of occurrence include the axilla, retroperitoneum, mesentery, vulva, pancreas, pelvis, and neck. 5 Less than 10% of cases occur in the neck.…”

Castleman's disease is an uncommon entity which is characterized by lymphadenopathy either at a single focus or at multiple sites.Due to the similar clinical picture of other disorders including tuberculous lymphadenitis, lymphoma and other cases of generalized lymphadenopathy like AIDS a diagnosis of castlemans disease. The unicentric form may resemble any generalized swelling such as a lipoma. In this case we discussed an 18 yr old girl presenting with a large neck swelling in the posterior triangle which clinically resembled a lipoma. The CT showed a uniformly enhancing homogenous lesion. After an excision biopsy, the histopathology revealed it to be castleman's disease of the hyaline vascular type. The literature reveals that although rare castlemans disease can be unicentric or multicentric and can involve multiple sites including the axilla, mediastinum and retroperitoneum. Most cases of the unicentric disease are completely cured with an excision biopsy. The multicentric disease may need chemotherapy, radiation or immunomodulating drugs. In conclusion, one must keep a differential of castlemans disease in mind when presented with any case of lymphadenopathy.

“…A correct preoperative diagnosis of mesenteric CD was not made either in these cases. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Localized CD requires a surgical removal of the tumor both for diagnosis and therapy. Limited success with radiation therapy 24 and chemotherapy 11 has been reported.…”

Mesenteric Castleman's Disease: Report of a Case

et al. 2002

A 77-year-old woman was admitted with intermittent abdominal dull pain. Hypochromic anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, and elevated C-reactive protein were found in this case. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography indicated either mesenteric leiomyoma or leiomyosarcoma, but no definitive preoperative diagnosis could be established. A surgical resection of the tumor revealed a mesenteric Castleman's tumor with small daughter lymphoid tumors of plasma cell type.
