Summary
This study details a rare case of multicentric Castleman disease (CD) developing in a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis. The patient successfully received a kidney transplant after treatment, highlighting a rare but viable therapeutic option.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Hematology
- Immunology
Background:
- Castleman disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with varied presentations.
- Renal involvement in CD is uncommon, often associated with the plasma cell type and can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
- While CD progression to ESRD is documented, a patient on dialysis developing CD is exceptionally rare, as are kidney transplantations in CD patients.
