Retroperitoneal Castleman's disease

J L Seco et al. Surgery. 1992 Nov.

Abstract

A case of Castleman's disease localized in the retroperitoneal space is reported. A 29-year-old patient had a mass 15 cm in diameter with radial calcification. After surgical resection, both the patient's anemia and hypergammaglobulinemia disappeared. Castleman's disease should be considered when facing a solid retroperitoneal or mesenteric mass, mainly if anemia and hypergammaglobulinemia are present. Previous reports about this unusual condition are reviewed.
