Primary hepatic Castleman disease

Abstract

Castleman disease (CD) is a rare, benign lymphoproliferative disorder with characteristic histopathological features, but variable aetiology, presentation, treatment and prognosis. It is broadly classified based on its location and histopathological features, with unicentric hyaline vascular disease presenting most commonly. We present a case of primary, unicentric hepatic CD that was incidentally found on imaging and managed with laparoscopic resection.
