Unicentric Castleman’s Disease Presenting With Multiple Enlarged Lymph Nodes In Me- diastinum

چکیده
A case of unicentric Castleman’s disease located in the mediastinum is presented. A 20 years old male suffering from cough had an image of right hilar enlargement on chest X-ray. Thorax CT revealed multiple enlarged lymph nodes both in right paratracheal and hilar region. Radionuclide accumulation was detected by 67Ga scintigraphy. Surgical removal of lymph nodes at paratracheal region was performed by mediastinoscopic excision and reported as reactive hyperplasia. Lymph nodes located in right hilum was excised by thoracotomy and histopathologic examination confirmed Castleman’s disease. Our thought about this case was a dominant infiltrative mass with an associated lymphadenopathy. 67Ga scintigraphy imaging that we performed in our case can be a useful method in detection of Castleman’s disease.

INTRODUCTION Castleman's disease or angiofollicular lymph hyperplasia is a rare disease with two identified clinical forms. Unicentric or localized form is characterized by isolated growth of lymph nodes, most often in mediastinum, and multicentric form is expressed as systemic disease with spread lymphadenopathy, organomegaly and presence of general symptoms of the disease. Histological types ...

Castleman’s disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown cause. In even rarer circumstances, it can be associated with POEMS (peripheral neuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy and sk in changes) syndrome. We report a case of multicentric plasma cell CD with POEMS syndrome, who presented with inguinal masses and lower extremity weakness for years. Compu...
