Introduction: Castleman's disease is a rare benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. The disease occurs in two clinical forms with different prognoses, treatments and symptoms: a unicentric form (UCD), which is solitary, localized, and a multicentric form characterized by generalized lymphadenopathy and systemic symptoms. This article aims to review the current literature to consolidate the evidence surrounding the curative potential of surgical treatment to the unicentric type. Material and methods: A systematic review of English-language literature was performed and databases (Medline, Pubmed, the Cochrane Database and grey literature) were searched to identify articles pertaining to the treatment of unicentric form of Castleman's disease. Each article was critiqued by two authors using a structured appraisal tool, and stratified according to the level of evidence. Results: After application of inclusion criteria, 14 studies were included. There were no prospective randomized control studies identified. One meta-analysis including 278 patients with UCD reported that resective surgery is safe and should be considered the gold standard for treatment. Seven retrospective studies enhance this standpoint. Radiotherapy (RT) has been used in six studies with controversial results. Conclusions: We conclude that surgical resection appears to be the most effective treatment for Unicentric Castleman's Disease of the thoracic cavity. Radiotherapy can also achieve clinical response and cure in selected patients.

“…Schulte et al 16 reported that if possible oncological resection must be performed for disseminated CD. When complete resection is impossible, palliative resection or radiotherapy may be used to control possible systemic manifestations 4,9 . A systemic therapy including chemotherapy, steroid and antiviral therapy should be given to the patients with symptomatic multicentric CD.…”

“…Flendrig and Schillings 2 described two distinct pathologic types and one mixed variant, while Keller et al 3 reported hyaline-vascular, plasma cell and hyaline-vascular plasma cell type. Little is known about the cause of this disease, which may occur anywhere along the lymphatic chain, but it is most commonly located in the mediastinum 4 . It usually presents as a localized soft tissue mass in the neck or the mediastinum; however, it has also been reported that the mesentery, pelvis, pancreas, adrenal and retroperitoneum may also be included in other extrathoracic involvement [4][5][6][7] .…”

Unicentric retroperitoneal Castleman disease: Report of 3 cases

et al. 2015

SUMMARYCastleman Disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder mainly occuring in the mediastinum. Abdominal forms are less frequent and manifests rarely as an isolated retroperitoneal mass. The diagnosis is based on postoperative pathological findings. Herein, we report three cases of unicentric retroperitoneal Castleman Disease from our center. Three women were detected to have a retroperitoneal mass in the medical examinations. The masses were surgically removed and histopathological examination revealed a hyaline-vascular type of Castleman disease. Although retroperitoneal Castleman Disease is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal masses. Keywords: Castleman Disease, retroperitoneal mass ÖZET Castleman Hastalığı daha çok mediastinumda görülen nadir bir lenfoproliferatif hastalıktır. Abdominal formları nadir görülürler ve çok nadir olarak izole retroperitoneal bir kitle şeklinde ortaya çıkarlar. Tanı postoperatif patolojik bulgulara göre koyulur. Bildirimizde karşılaştığımız üç unisentrik retroperitoneal Castleman Hastalığı olan hastayı sunduk. Medikal muayeneler sonucu üç kadın hastada retroperitoneal kitle tespit edildi. Kitleler cerrahi olarak çıkarıldı ve histopatolojik inceleme sonucu hiyalin-vasküler tip Castleman Hastalığı tespit edildi. Castleman Hastalığı nadir olmasına rağmen retroperitoneal kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında düşünülmelidir.

Surgical Outcome of Superficial and Deep Castleman Disease

Abstract: Whether Castleman disease is superficial or deep has no effect on surgical outcome as long as resection is complete.
