Abstract
Introduction
Castleman's disease (CD) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder most frequently localized in the mediastinum and abdomen.
Two cases of CD with mediastinal localization in our service are described. The first case was found in a 33-year old woman with the plasma cell variant of CD associated to Hodgkin's disease and the second case was found in a 32 year old woman with hyalinevascular type CD.
Discussion
CD, of unknown etiology, is clinically distinguished with two forms, multicentric that affects more than one organ and occurs with general symptoms and can be accompanied by other involvements such as lymphoma. The second one is the localized one, which is more frequent and evolves asymptomatically or with compressive symptoms due to mass effect. In these cases presented, the difference in the clinical presentation of this condition in its two variants can be seen.
Conclusions
CD is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disease whose treatment is tumor resection and whose prognosis is good.
