A huge retroperitoneal Castleman's disease - rare entity.

Castleman's disease is a rare angio-follicular lymph node hyperplasia[1,2] have varying presentation and can mimic malignancy. The common locations are mediastinum, neck, axilla, and pelvis but extra nodal sites can also be affected.[3] A 56-year-old patient incidentally found to have mass in the retroperitoneal region by Contract-enhanced computerized tomography (CT). Positron emission tomography scan showed well defined intensely enhancing fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) avid lesion in the left iliac region with vascularity. Surgery was performed, and pathological diagnosis was hyaline vascular type-stroma-rich variant of Castleman disease. Here, we report a case of huge retroperitoneal Castleman's disease in a 56-year-old female patient.[4].
