Abstract:
Castleman's disease, a nonclonal lymphoproliferative disorder, is one of the most common causes of nonneoplastic lymphadenopathy. Because of its wide variety of manifestations and ability to affect any part of the body, Castleman's disease closely resembles benign and malignant abnormalities of the neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Castleman disease most commonly presents as unicentric Castleman disease with nodal mass enhancement and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lymphoma, metastatic lymphadenopathy, and infectious and/or inflammatory disorders causing lymphadenopathy to consider. We present a case report of a patient who presented non-specific respiratory symptomatology of cough and dyspnea. A chest CT scan revealed a single right mediastinal-hilar mass, with intense enhancement after contrast and without any other lesions. The anatomopathological examination revealed the hyaline-vascular subtype of Castleman's disease.
