Castelman disease of the parotid gland: An unusual entity.

Castleman disease (CD) is a benign lymphoepithelial disorder characterised by abnormal growth of a lymph node. This disease may be seen anywhere along the lymphatic chain but it usually occurs in the mediastinum. Two clinical types (localised and generalised) and three histopathological types (hyaline vascular, plasma cell, and mixed) have been described. We present a case of a 35-year-old female patient with parotid CD of the hyaline-vascular type as an extremely rare entity. We also discuss recent updates on this disease.
