RESUMO
A Doença de Castleman é uma desordem linfoproliferativa que apresenta relação etiológica com o herpes vírus tipo 8 e o HIV, manifestando-se de duas formas distintas. A forma unicêntrica é benigna, não cursa com sintomas sistêmicos e geralmente é curada com a ressecção cirúrgica. A forma multicêntrica geralmente apresenta-se com linfadenopatia generalizada, febre, emagrecimento, entre outras manifestações sistêmicas e pode estar associada a malignidades, entre as quais a síndrome de POEMS (polineuropatia, organomegalia, endocrinopatia, gamopatia monoclonal e alterações de pele). Relatamos o caso de um homem de 50 anos que se apresentava com emagrecimento, febre e linfadenopatia, associado a gamopatia monoclonal, organomegalia, endocrinopatia e neuropatia, cujo diagnóstico foi de Doença de Castleman cursando com síndrome de POEMS.
ABSTRACT
Castleman’s disease is a lymphoproliferative disorder related with human herpesvirus 8 and HIV, presenting in two different ways. The unicentric form is benign, doesn’t have systemic symptoms and is usually cured with surgery. The multicentric form usually presents with generalized lymphadenopathy, fever, weight loss, and other systemic manifestations and it can be associated with malignancy, especially POEMS syndrome. We report a case of a 50 year old man presenting with weight loss, fever and lymphadenopathy, associated with monoclonal gammopathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy and neuropathy, which diagnosis was Castleman’s disease with POEMS syndrome.
