Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Castleman's disease (angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia) is a rare disorder of unknown cause.
  • Typically presents as a unicentric mediastinal tumor, but extrathoracic cases are increasingly recognized.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of mesenteric Castleman's disease.
  • Diagnostic clues include patient age, inflammatory markers, and advanced imaging (ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography).

Findings:

  • Hyaline-vascular type, often unicentric, is curable with surgical resection.
  • Plasma cell type, particularly multicentric forms, carries a poor prognosis due to high malignancy rates.

Implications:

  • Recognizing extrathoracic Castleman's disease is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate management.

  • Distinguishing between unicentric and multicentric, and hyaline-vascular and plasma cell subtypes, is vital for patient outcomes.
