ABSTRACT
Castleman's disease (CD) is an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown origin. There are two histological types hyaline-vascular type and plasma cell type. CD is usually located in the mediastinum, but may be seen in any site including the neck, axilla, mesentery, and retroperitoneum. A 52-year-old male complained of vague lower abdominal pain. There was no palpable mass and all laboratory data showed nonspecific findings. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed a solitary homogenous, well-defined mass in the mesentery. The laparoscopic complete resection was performed without complications. Histologic examination of resected lesion revealed the hyaline-vascular type of CD. In the hyaline-vascular type of CD, laparoscopic approach constitutes a complete treatment. We present here the case of laparoscopic treatment of isolated mesenteric CD.
