Castleman's Disease in Pelvic Cavity / 대한산부인과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Castlemans disease is a relatively rare disease of differential diagnostic interest in patients with lymphadenopathy. The etilogy and pathogenesis are still not elucidated. One case of Castlemsns disease of the pelvis is reported. Tumoral lesion was located in the lymph nodes of the right broad ligament. Histologically, the lymph nodes demonstrated the the hyaline-vascular type of Castleman's disease which had a favorable prognosis. This unusal presentation made Castlemans disease difficult to diagnose preoperatively. We describe a patient with Castleman disease of hyaline-vascular type localized to the pelvic cavity.
