[Castleman's disease located in the central nervous system].

A 26-year-old woman complained of trijeminal nevralgy and ocular symptoms revealing a paracavernal tumor which had progressed for three months. Histopathological analysis after partial resection led to the diagnosis of Castleman's disease. Six months later, the patient was considered cured after focal adjuvant radiotherapy. Castleman's disease is a lymphoproliferative disorder. Solitary intracranial involvement is unusual. Unlike multifocal disease, localized Castleman's disease has an excellent prognosis.
