    Castleman's disease can cause rare coagulation disorders. Surgical removal of the tumor resolved lupus-like anticoagulants and corrected clotting factor deficiencies.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Castleman's disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder.
    • Plasma cell Castleman's disease can present with systemic symptoms.
    • Coagulation abnormalities are uncommon manifestations.

    Observation:

    • A young male patient presented with plasma cell Castleman's disease.
    • Coagulation tests revealed decreased activity of factors V, VIII, and X.
    • Lupus-like circulating anticoagulants were detected in the patient's plasma.

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of a mediastinal mass was performed.
    • Post-surgery, hematochemical and pathological data normalized.
    • The coagulation defect, including lupus-like anticoagulants, resolved after tumor removal.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests a potential paraneoplastic phenomenon in Castleman's disease.
    • The tumor may secrete lupus-like anticoagulants, causing coagulation defects.
    • Highlights the importance of investigating coagulation issues in Castleman's disease patients.
