Localized Castleman disease of plasma cell type in the abdomen / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

Castleman disease is a relatively rare entity, with the hyaline-vascular type the predominant form. Although the plasma cell type is uncommon, it still comprises approximately 10% of cases of localized diseases. In addition, the abdomen is a rare site for involvement and localized Castleman disease of the plasma cell type in the abdomen is rare. The radiologic features of localized plasma cell type in the abdomen are mostly limited to case reports. In addition to the conventional imaging findings, we present some new imaging findings of localized plasma cell type in the abdomen.
