Castleman's Disease: a Suprarenal Surprise!

Praveen Sundar et al. Indian J Surg Oncol. 2018 Jun.

Abstract

Castleman's disease is a distinct form of lymph node hyperplasia. It commonly presents as a mediastinal mass and rarely as a solitary retroperitoneal mass. We narrate a case of Castleman's disease presenting as a right suprarenal mass emphasising the usefulness of robot-assisted retroperitoneoscopy in surgical management of retroperitoneal masses in close relation to vital structures.

Keywords: Adrenal mass; Castleman disease; Retroperitoneal mass; Robot assisted Retroperitoneoscopy.
