RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the CT findings of multicentric Castleman disease(CD).Methods The CT findings of thorax and abdomen in a patient with multicentric CD biopsy-proved were retrospectively analyzed, and a literature review was conducted.Results The patient had systemic symptoms, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, extensive lymph node enlargement and mild enhancement, and specific pulmonary infiltration. The lung lesions on thin-section CT were showed poorly-defined centrilobular nodules, ground-glass attenuation, thin-walled cysts, thickening of the bronchovascular bundles, and interlobular septal thickening. The above were highly coincident with that in the literatures.Conclusion Multicentric CD is characterized by the presence of systemic symptoms, extensive lymph node enlargement and mild enhancement, and specific pulmonary lesions when infiltrated. Typical manifestation might suggest multicentric CD.
