    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Hematology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia, also known as Castleman tumour, is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder.
    • This case report details a rare presentation of Castleman tumour in the mediastinum.

    Observation:

    • A 19-year-old female presented with a mediastinal Castleman tumour exhibiting mixed hyaline-vascular and plasma cell features.
    • Systemic manifestations included lymphocytic infiltration of the bone marrow and altered lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) iso-enzyme patterns, specifically an increase in LDH3.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination revealed a combination of hyaline-vascular and plasma cell Castleman tumour subtypes.
    • Biochemical abnormalities, including elevated LDH3, normalized post-operatively.

    Implications:

    • Surgical resection of mediastinal Castleman tumours can lead to complete patient recovery.
    • This case underscores the potential for systemic manifestations in Castleman tumour and their resolution with tumor removal.
