Castleman disease, a rare lymphoid disorder, can occur in the peripancreatic region. Surgical excision is key for diagnosing and treating this unusual presentation of plasma cell Castleman disease.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Castleman disease (CD), also known as giant lymph node hyperplasia, is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder.
  • Typically, CD manifests in the mediastinum, making peripancreatic involvement uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old woman presented with a year of epigastric pain radiating to the back.
  • Imaging revealed a 6 cm peripancreatic solid mass.
  • Laboratory tests showed elevated inflammatory markers and hypergammaglobulinemia.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed plasma cell type Castleman disease.
  • The mass was surgically excised, and the pancreas capsule was repaired.

Implications:

  • Castleman disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of peripancreatic masses.
  • Surgical excision serves as both a diagnostic and curative treatment for peripancreatic CD.
