This case report details Castleman

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Castleman disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with diverse clinical presentations.
  • Localized plasma cell type Castleman disease presents with systemic symptoms mimicking other conditions, necessitating comprehensive diagnostic evaluation.
  • Distinguishing Castleman disease from other disorders requires careful integration of clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings.

Observation:

  • A case of localized plasma cell Castleman disease is presented.
  • Patient exhibited refractory anemia, weight loss, and B-symptoms with preserved general health.
  • CT scan revealed a localized tumor; histopathology showed vascular hyperproliferation and plasmacytosis.

Findings:

  • Immunophenotyping indicated a polyclonal plasma cell population.

  • Needle biopsies were crucial for detecting polyclonality.
  • Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) was not detected, differentiating from multicentric types.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of Castleman disease relies on comprehensive evaluation.
    • Understanding plasma cell clonality is key in Castleman disease diagnosis.
    • Absence of HHV8 in this case provides further insight into localized Castleman disease subtypes.
