Enhancing mediastinal mass at MR: Castleman disease.
We report a case of an enhancing middle mediastinal mass imaged by MR and CT. Repeated nondiagnostic biopsies in this 25-yr-old male patient had resulted in profuse hemorrhage. Final pathological diagnosis after thoracotomy and debulking was Castleman disease. This is a rare, benign lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain etiology. Histological varieties include the hyaline vascular type (80-...

متن کاملMulticentric Castleman disease: consensus at last?
In collaboration with an international cohort of clinicians and pathologists who reviewed more than 240 cases, the authors concurred on a set of evidence-based criteria, thereby paving the way for a uniform approach to managing this enigmatic condition. In 1956, Castleman et al described clinicopathologic features of 13 asymptomatic patients who presented with a mediastinal mass. This form of u...
