ABSTRACT

Castleman s disease is a giant lymph node hyperplasia, known to be a localized hyperplastic lymphoid process in the mediastinum. It is not commonly presented on neck. The étiologie mechanism of Castleman's disease is still unknown.

According to the histopathologic and clinical fingding, it devided to two distinct subtype, hyaline-vascular type and plasma cell type. Plasma cell type compromises only 9% of total cases and is likely to present with costitutional symptoms, such as anemia, fever, hypergammaglobulinemia. The hyaline-vascular type usually presents as an asymptomatic mass. Multicentric Castleman's disease may accompany malignancies, which include non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Kaposis's sarcoma, carcinoma.
