- Abstract: Castleman's disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder that can involve single or multiple lymph nodes in the body. Especially, the localized form of CD is known to be well-controlled by using a surgical resection. On occasion, the surgeon may confront an abdominal and retroperitoneal mass of unknown origin. Thus, we present this case in which we treated a 16-year-old female patient for CD and investigated how to evaluate and manage the situation from the standpoint of CD. Also, we give a review of the pathology, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and treatment of CD.
