Castleman Disease (CD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by enlarged hyperplastic lymph nodes with regressed follicles surrounded by expanded mantle zones of small lymphocytes, and interfollicular vascular proliferation in the hyaline-vascular type. There are two types: unicentric and multicentric. Unicentric, hyalinevascular type of Castleman’s disease can be treated successfully with complete surgical resection with monitoring for reoccurrence. Here we report a case of a patient originally diagnosed with sarcoidosis who was found to have Unicentric Castleman’s disease.

Castleman’s disease was first reported in 1954 by Castleman et al. and identified as an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder. In most cases, Castleman’s diseases are detected in the chest, head, and neck. A 71-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to a retroperitoneal tumor in the para-aortic area by computed tomography (CT). Positron emission tomography-CT revealed an uptake in this tumor, suggesting malignant diseases. Laparoscopic tumorectomy was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was Castleman’s disease, hyaline vascular type. No evidence of recurrence was observed 20 months after surgery. We herein report a rare case of retroperitoneal Castleman’s disease.

Background. Castleman's disease is a benign lymphoproliferative disorder. The disease may be localized or multicentric. Three histologic variants are recognized: hyaline vascular, plasma cell, and mixed types.Case. A 20-year-old man presented with large left axillary mass. The histologic examination of the resected mass showed follicular pattern with large nodules of mantle cells arranged concentrically around atrophic and vascularized germinal centers. There was also some benign-appearing bone trabeculae interspersed with lymphoid tissue. The diagnosis of Castleman's disease, hyaline-vascular type with osseous metaplasia, was made.

<p class="abstract">Castleman’s disease (CD) usually presents as localized or systemic lymphadenopathy or as an extra nodal mass. The usual site of presentation are mediastinum, retroperitoneum, axilla and mesentery. Only 3 cases of CD have been reported in retro pharyngeal space. We report a case of 20 year old male patient with retropharyngeal mass. He presented with difficulty in swallowing, change in voice and respiratory distress. The mass was removed in-toto transorally after performing elective tracheostomy. The histopathological findings were consistent with hyaline vascular type of CD. He was decannulated after two day and postoperative period was uneventful. Postoperative CT imaging confirmed the complete excision of tumor and patient is on follow up, with no signs of recurrence. The presentation of tumour in the retropharyngeal space which is a rare site of occurrence add to the uniqueness of this case. Unicentric CD has an excellent prognosis and surgery is the management of choice. Its clinical features, histological subtypes, treatment modalities and prognosis are discussed.</p>

Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Unicentric Castleman’s disease is a rare, benign lymphoproliferative disorder that is curable with surgical resection. However, significant bleeding often occurs during surgery because of tumor hypervascularity. We herein present a case of hyaline-vascular-type mediastinal unicentric Castleman’s disease, successfully resected using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with preoperative embolization. In the present case, tumor hypervascularity and feeding vessels were revealed by computed tomography (CT), which led us to perform preoperative angiography and embolization to the tumor feeding arteries to reduce intraoperative bleeding. Castleman’s disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hypervascular mediastinal tumors. Tumor vascularity should be assessed prior to surgery, and preoperative embolization should be considered.

Castleman’s diseas is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. We report a 28 years old woman with solitary Castleman’s disease in the left pararenal space. This case was diagnosed preoperatively as renal cell carcinoma. The patient underwent a radical nephrectomy with dissection of pararenal mass. Histopathological examination of the surgically resected specimen showed the hyaline vascular type of Castleman’s disease. A preoperative diagnosis of Castleman’s disease is difficult; therefore, a surgical resection and histopathological evaluation can provide an accurate diagnosis of tumor. Taking this case into consideration, we suggest that Castleman’s disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of renal tumors.
