Summary

This study presents three abdominal Castleman disease cases. Computed tomography (CT) findings were nonspecific, but dynamic CT sometimes showed dense lesion enhancement.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Oncology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder.
  • Abdominal Castleman disease can present in localized or systemic forms.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for patient management.

Observation:

  • Three patients with abdominal Castleman disease underwent computed tomography (CT) examination.
  • Two patients had localized mesenteric Castleman disease.
  • One patient presented with systemic Castleman disease.

Findings:

  • CT findings for abdominal Castleman disease are generally nonspecific.
  • Dynamic CT scans revealed dense enhancement in the lesions in some cases.
  • The observed CT features aid in differentiating Castleman disease from other abdominal pathologies.

Implications:

  • Early CT detection of abdominal Castleman disease can improve patient outcomes.
  • Understanding CT characteristics is vital for radiologists and clinicians.
  • Further research into specific imaging biomarkers for Castleman disease is warranted.
