Abstract
|
|
|
Castleman¡¯s disease is a distinct lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown origin, which creates both a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma for most physicians. Here, we present a case of hyaline-vascular and solitary Castleman¡¯s disease associated
with
pure red cell aplasia. A 49-year old woman was admitted suffering from severe anemia. A bone marrow biopsy showed marked erythroid hypoplasia. A solitary retroperitoneal mass was excised and proven to be Castleman¡¯s disease with hyaline-vascular
type
histology. Removal of the mass led to a rapid reversal of anemia. No evidence of recurrence was found 1 year after the excision.
