Pelvic Castleman's Disease Presenting as an Ovarian Mass.

Castleman’s disease is an uncommon disease with poorly understood etiopathogenesis. It was described by Benjamin Castleman in 1954. It commonly occurs in the mediastinal nodes. Virtually any lymphnodal area can be affected. Extranodal involvement is rare and occurs in the lung, pancreas, breast, adrenals, and muscle. Castleman’s disease rarely occurs in the pelvic cavity and only 18 such cases are described. There are very few case reports of pelvic Castleman’s disease in the Indian literature. The present case is Castleman’s disease in the broad ligament mimicking as an ovarian mass.
