Imaging studies in Castleman disease. A case report

Abstract

Castleman’s disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder. The localized form is the most frequent and it is usually asymptomatic. Although the definitive diagnosis is histologic, it is necessary to know how it manifests in imaging studies. The most frequent location in cases of unicentric Castleman’s disease is the thorax. We present the case of a patient from our center to improve the interpretation of imaging proof in this pathology.
