Retroperitoneal Castleman’s Disease: Case Report and Review of the Literature - Abstract
Castleman’s disease (CD) is a benign, rare, lymphoproliferative disorder. The symptoms, treatment and prognosis differ between its two clinical forms, unicentric CD (UCD) and multicentric (MCD). Pre-operative diagnosis is rarely arrived at. We present a case of a surgically treated retroperitoneal UCD originally thought to be a paraganglioma. Complete surgical resection is the gold-standard of treatment for UCD.
