Area of Science:

  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Castleman's disease (angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder.
  • Typically presents in the chest or abdomen, involving lymph nodes and non-nodal tissues.
  • Nasopharyngeal involvement is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A 19-year-old male presented with chronic nasal obstruction and postnasal drip.
  • Initial imaging suggested a nasopharyngeal angiofibroma.
  • Surgical excision revealed Castleman's disease of the hyaline-vascular type.

Findings:

  • Pathologic examination confirmed Castleman's disease, a previously unreported nasopharyngeal location.
  • The patient experienced no recurrence or nasal issues at 4-year follow-up.
  • This case highlights the diverse presentations of Castleman's disease.

Implications:

  • Challenges the typical understanding of Castleman's disease localization.
  • Emphasizes the importance of histopathological diagnosis for rare head and neck tumors.
  • Suggests considering Castleman's disease in the differential diagnosis of nasopharyngeal masses.
