A Case of Castleman's Disease of the Neck
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Castleman's disease a is heterogeneous disorder of unclear etiology. Depending on histologic and clinical findings, it has been divided into two distinct histologic subtypes, the hyaline-vascular type an plasma-cell type. The hyaline-vascular
variant
presents as only an asymptomatic mass; the plasma-cell type compromises only 9% of total cases and is more likely to present with constitutional symptoms. It commonly involves the mediastinal and pulmonary lymph nodes, with neck involvement in
only
15%
to 20% of cases.
We present a case of an unusual neck mass secondary to Castleman's disease that can easily be mistaken for lymphoma or tuberculosis. (Korean J Otolaryngol 38:9, 1995)
