ABSTRACT
Castleman's disease is characterized by a massive growth of lymphoid tissue. Since first report in 1956, multiple terms have been used to describe Castleman's disease, including lymph nodal harmatoma, angiofollicullar lymph node hyperplasia, benign giant lymphoma and giant lymph node hyperplasia. Castleman's disease is rare and poor by understood and the optimal therapy is unknown. There are two basic pathologic types in Castleman's disease: Hyaline-vascular type and plasma cell type. Hyaline- vascular type tends to be asymptomatic and is more common in the localized form. Here we report a case of hyaline-vascular type Castleman's disease in retroperitoneum and review previous reports.
