This case study details a rare instance of mesenteric Castleman

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Castleman's disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with diverse clinical presentations.
  • Mesenteric Castleman's disease is an uncommon manifestation, often presenting as an abdominal mass.
  • Accurate preoperative diagnosis can be challenging due to non-specific symptoms and imaging findings.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old female presented with intermittent abdominal pain, anemia, thrombocytosis, and elevated ESR.
  • Imaging revealed an intra-abdominal mass, with differential diagnoses including lymphoma and mesenchymal tumors.
  • Preoperative diagnosis remained uncertain despite comprehensive investigations.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection confirmed the mass as mesenteric hyaline vascular-type Castleman's disease.

  • Histopathological analysis was crucial for definitive diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering Castleman's disease in the differential diagnosis of pediatric mesenteric masses.
    • Emphasizes the role of surgical resection in both diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric Castleman's disease.
    • Contributes to understanding the rare presentation of this condition in pediatric patients.
