ABSTRACT
Castelman's disease is an atypical lymphoid proliferation presenting in two different types [localized or multicentric]. The localized form has a better prognosis and a surgical treatment may confer a long remission. Authors report the case of a 43-years-old man who consulted for distal arthralgia and cervical lymphadenopathies. Cervical neck dissection permits a clinical remission during 4 years. The patient reconsulted in 2004 for cervical, axillary and medastinal nodes. Biopsy concluded to an association of Castelman disease and Hodgkin Lymphoma in its nodular sclerosis form. The patient was successfully treated with chimiotherapy. Two years later, he remains asymptomatic with no sign of relapse
